[PATCH 1/1] 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 -EIO 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.
