4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit f18ebc211e259d4f591e39e74b2aa2de226c9a1d upstream.
The problem with ornamental, do-nothing gotos is that they lead to
"forgot to set the error code" bugs. We should be returning -EINVAL
here but we don't. It leads to an uninitalized variable in
counter_show():
drivers/acpi/sysfs.c:603 counter_show()
error: uninitialized symbol 'status'.
Fixes: 1c8fce27e275 (ACPI: introduce drivers/acpi/sysfs.c)
