Move initialization of msg->status up over the call to dev_err, in both calls to ep93xx_spi_dma_prepare, and change the reference in the call to dev_err to msg->status, to both fix the wrong argument to PTR_ERR in the second case and to make the dev_err line a little shorter. This required furthermore replacing %ld by %d, since msg->status is an integer. The semantic match that finds the PTR_ERR problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression x,y; @@ if (IS_ERR(x) || ...) { ... when any when != IS_ERR(...) ( PTR_ERR(x) | * PTR_ERR(y) ) ... when any } // </smpl> Reorganizations at the suggestion of Walter Harms.
