I understand that this preserved the behavior from the original code,
but the original code was wrong.  This should return -ENOMEM.

Hi Dan,
I don't agree.

For me, this memory allocation is of the same type as all debugfs functions that we ignore the error code.

If it fails, it is not a reason good enough to have the probe fail. (anyway, if we are short on memory at this point other errors will likely occur)


+
  	for (i = 0; i < lvts_td->num_lvts_ctrl; i++) {
+ struct debugfs_regset32 *regset = &regsets[i];
  		lvts_ctrl = &lvts_td->lvts_ctrl[i];

The blank line should come after the declaration.

The blank line was already there, and in this file, it looks like the preferred style (even if not completely consistent)

Let see if there is some comment about 0 or -ENOMEM in case of memory allocation error, and if needed, I'll repost without the blank line.

This patch being a really tiny tiny tiny improvement (IMHO), so it may also just be ignored.


CJ
