Hi Ma Ke,
As this is a fix, with a fixes tag (good!), it should probably be targeted
at the net tree (as opposed to net-next). The target tree for
networking patches should be included in the Subject.
Subject: [PATCH net] ...
Looking at git history, it seems that an appropriate prefix for this patch
would be net: "net: usb: sr9700: "
Subject: [PATCH net] net: usb: sr9700: ...
And, skipping ahead, please do consider reading, especially the bit about 24h.

I agree that this fixes a possible error condition.
But I wonder if there are not more similar problems in this
file. E.g. the call to sr_read_reg() which seeds value
which is used at the top of this hunk.
