The auth_parse() function returns 0xcafe on error or else it returns
-ENOMEM or it returns WLAN_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED_AUTH_ALG (13). It
returns zero on success. It's a bit silly to return all these random
things. It should only return normal kernel error codes.
If we want we could make it print its own error message:
if (a->status) {
netdev_info(dev, "Authentication response status code 0x%x",
le16_to_cpu(a->status))
return -EINVAL;
}
return 0;
Then delete the printk in the caller or modify it to print an %d instead
of the error code in hex.
