Smatch complains that: tw_probe() warn: missing error code 'retval' This patch adds error checking to `tw_probe` function to handle initialization failure. If `tw_reset_sequence` function returns a non-zero value, the function will return an `-EINVAL` error code to indicate the initialization failure.
