From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently the assignment of -ENOMEM to error is redudant because error is not being read and -ENOMEM is being hard coded as an error return. Fix this by returning the error code in variable 'error'; this also allows the error code from a failed call to input_register_device to be preserved and returned to the caller rather than just returning a possibly inappropriate -ENOMEM. Kudos to Dan Carpenter for the suggestion of an improved fix.

Thanks to Dan Carpenter for explaining a better fix. --- drivers/input/misc/ims-pcu.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/input/misc/ims-pcu.c b/drivers/input/misc/ims-pcu.c index d8dbfc030d0f..08b9b5cdb943 100644 --- a/drivers/input/misc/ims-pcu.c +++ b/drivers/input/misc/ims-pcu.c @@ -335,7 +335,7 @@ static int ims_pcu_setup_gamepad(struct ims_pcu *pcu) err_free_mem: input_free_device(input); kfree(gamepad); - return -ENOMEM; + return error; } static void ims_pcu_destroy_gamepad(struct ims_pcu *pcu) -- 2.25.1
