3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Thomas Preisner <thomas.preisner+linux@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 107fded7bf616ad6f46823d98b8ed6405d7adf2d ] In a few cases the err-variable is not set to a negative error code if a function call in typhoon_init_one() fails and thus 0 is returned instead. It may be better to set err to the appropriate negative error code before returning.
