NULL : ERR_PTR(-ENOENT); Please stick to the conventions of the API in the driver. IS_ERR() values mean we failed. Anything else must be considered success. Don't assume NULL means we failed. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-watchdog" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
