aic7770_config() mostly returns positive error codes but I see it also
return -1 from ahc_reset().  So you'd want to do something like:

	return error < 0 ? error : -error;
Oh, I missed this one. Thanks for pointing out this mistake!

Originally ahc_linux_register_host() returned a mix of positive and
negative error codes.  You have converted it to return only positive
error codes.  That's good for consistency in a way, but it's a step
backwards from the big picture point of view.
Agreed, it's better to let ahc_linux_register_host() only return negative error codes.

This should be done in a separate patch.

patch 1: return negative error codes in ahc_linux_register_host()
patch 2: return negative error codes in aic7770_probe()
patch 3: add a check for errors in ahc_linux_pci_dev_probe()

Got it, I will send v2 patch set soon.
Really thanks for your suggestions!
