[PATCHv2] mfd: twl4030: clarify the return value for read and write

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Infact, we can just return -1 so that caller knows for sure that all messages
were not tranferred. Please consider fixed patch instead.

We should be checking if all the messages were tranferred or not. And return
-1 for failure. Currently we return success (0) even if none of messages were
transferred successfully.
