3.16.57-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Horia Geantă <horia.geanta@xxxxxxx> commit 225ece3e7dad4cfc44cca38ce7a3a80f255ea8f1 upstream. In case DECO0 cannot be acquired - i.e. run_descriptor_deco0() fails with -ENODEV, caam_probe() enters an endless loop: run_descriptor_deco0 ret -ENODEV -> instantiate_rng -ENODEV, overwritten by -EAGAIN ret -EAGAIN -> caam_probe -EAGAIN results in endless loop It turns out the error path in instantiate_rng() is incorrect, the checks are done in the wrong order.
