Code like the following looks a bit clunky to me: if (IS_ERR(data->clk) && PTR_ERR(data->clk) != -EPROBE_DEFER) Is there any reason not to always use eg data->clk == ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER) Code of the latter form is a bit more popular. Perhaps one could want something like: IS_ERR_VALUE(data->clk, -EPROBE_DEFER) but IS_ERR_VALUE is laready used for something else. julia -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
