From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== 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'.
