[PATCH v2 1/1] serial: core: Fix error handling for serial_core_ctrl_device_add()

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

 



Checking for NULL is incorrect as serial_base_ctrl_add() uses ERR_PTR().

Let's also pass any returned error along, there's no reason to translate
all errors to -ENODEV.

Fixes: 84a9582fd203 ("serial: core: Start managing serial controllers to enable runtime PM")

Changes since v1:

- Stop translating all errors to -ENODEV

- There's no need to use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() as noted by Jiri
