4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Wentao Wang <witallwang@xxxxxxxxx> commit 3ec8002951ea173e24b466df1ea98c56b7920e63 upstream. Echo "" to /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc will fail with "No such device” error. This is caused by function "configure_kgdboc" who init err to ENODEV when the config is empty (legal input) the code go out with ENODEV returned.
