[PATCH 4.5 096/238] staging: android: ion_test: fix check of platform_device_register_simple() error code

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vladimir Zapolskiy <vz@xxxxxxxxx>

commit ccbc2a9e7878ff09bcaed4893c2a2d3adbb797e2 upstream.

On error platform_device_register_simple() returns ERR_PTR() value,
check for NULL always fails. The change corrects the check itself and
propagates the returned error upwards.

Fixes: 81fb0b901397 ("staging: android: ion_test: unregister the platform device")
