This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usb: return error code when platform_get_irq fails to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 28bedb5ae463b9f7e5195cbc93f1795e374bdef8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2017 18:28:45 +0200 Subject: usb: return error code when platform_get_irq fails In function xhci_mtk_probe(), variable ret takes the return value. Its value should be negative on failures. However, when the call to function platform_get_irq() fails, it does not set the error code, and 0 will be returned. 0 indicates no error. As a result, the callers of function xhci_mtk_probe() will not be able to detect the error. This patch fixes the bug by assigning the return value of platform_get_irq() to variable ret if it fails.
