'status' is known to be 0 at this point. It must be set to a meaningful
value in order to return an error code if one of the 'of_get_property()'
call fails.

Return -EINVAL in such a case.

The pcmcia_register_socket() call site sets status explicitly before
jumping to fail1, which is a bit clearer.

Agreed, but as as you say below, this is not the most active driver in the kernel and PCMCIA, well, does anyone still uses it?

Still, this is a legacy driver, I'm not sure there are any active
users of it these days, and surely nobody that's tinkering around and
editing the device tree (it comes from CFE on these systems, not from
a .dts in the kernel tree). The fix isn't invalid, but it's also not
likely to be an issue in the real world. So, let's just say:

In fact this patch has been in my tree for years, because the driver is mostly untouched and certainly used by no one, nowadays. However, 2 weeks ago, commit b274014c6d19 made me think of a revived interest.
So I decided to post the patch, just in case.
