3.5.7.23 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit e82b89a6f19bae73fb064d1b3dd91fcefbb478f4 upstream.
modalias_show() should return an empty string on error, not -ENODEV.
This causes the following false and annoying error:
> find /sys/devices -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 cat >/dev/null
cat: /sys/devices/vio/4000/modalias: No such device
cat: /sys/devices/vio/4001/modalias: No such device
cat: /sys/devices/vio/4002/modalias: No such device
cat: /sys/devices/vio/4004/modalias: No such device
cat: /sys/devices/vio/modalias: No such device
