re: efi: split efisubsystem from efivars

Hello Tom Gundersen,

The patch a9499fa7cd3f: "efi: split efisubsystem from efivars" from
Feb 8, 2013, leads to the following static checker warning:

	fs/super.c:1094 mount_single()
	error: passing non negative 1 to ERR_PTR

drivers/firmware/efi/efivars.c
   638  static int efivar_update_sysfs_entry(efi_char16_t *name, efi_guid_t vendor,
   639                                       unsigned long name_size, void *data)
   640  {
   641          struct efivar_entry *entry = data;
   642  
   643          if (efivar_entry_find(name, vendor, &efivar_sysfs_list, false))
   644                  return 0;
   645  
   646          memcpy(entry->var.VariableName, name, name_size);
   647          memcpy(&(entry->var.VendorGuid), &vendor, sizeof(efi_guid_t));
   648  
   649          return 1;

The comments imply that this should return 0 on success and negative
error codes on failure.

   650  }
   651  


The function is called from efivar_init() as a pointer.

   663                  err = efivar_init(efivar_update_sysfs_entry, entry,
   664                                    false, &efivar_sysfs_list);

The comments on efivar_init() say it should return zero on success or a
negative error code.
