Thanks for the update. I tested this with the it87 driver and it worked as designed, preventing the driver to load if an error occurs. Unfortunately you forgot to sign your patch. Can you please resend the patch with the proper Signed-off-by line? While you're there please also fix the indentation of the "return" line, which isn't correct. -- Jean Delvare
