I am under the impression that error paths in functions aem_init_aem1_inst() and aem_init_aem2_inst() are incorrect. In several cases, the function returns 0 on error, which I suspect is not intended. Fix this by properly tracking error codes. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Guenter Roeck <guenter.roeck@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Darrick, can you please confirm that none of the missing error codes was on purpose, and that my patch doesn't break anything?
