This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: wlan-ng: ensure error return is actually returned
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-testing branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will be merged to the staging-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: wlan-ng: ensure error return is actually returned
Currently when the call to prism2sta_ifst fails a netdev_err error
is reported, error return variable result is set to -1 but the
function always returns 0 for success. Fix this by returning
the error value in variable result rather than 0.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
