From: James Smart <jsmart2021@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 522dceeb62ded1a7b538d2f1f61cc69a1402537d ] On hbacmd reset failure, observing wrong string "nline" in kernel log. On failure, non negative value (1) is returned from sysfs store routine. It is interpreted as count by kernel and store routine is called again with the remaining characters as input. Fix: Return negative error code (-EIO) in case of failure. Signed-off-by: Dick Kennedy <dick.kennedy@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: James Smart <james.smart@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Martin K.
