4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Chen-Yu Tsai <wens@xxxxxxxx> commit 85915b63ad8b796848f431b66c9ba5e356e722e5 upstream. When sun4i_codec_create_card fails, we do not assign a proper error code to the return value. The return value would be 0 from the previous function call, or we would have bailed out sooner. This would confuse the driver core into thinking the device probe succeeded, when in fact it didn't, leaving various devres based resources lingering. Make the create_card function pass back a meaningful error code, and assign it to the return value.
