Subject: [patch] isdn: return -EFAULT if copy_from_user() fails
Date: Fri, 10 Dec 2010 12:40:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101210124009.GC10623@bicker> (raw)

We should be returning -EFAULT here.

Mostly this patch is to silence a smatch warning.  The upper levels
of this driver turn all non-zero return values from isar_load_firmware()
into 1.
