Hi Kory,

Prior to this change err was -ENOMEM at this point. Now it is 0.

And The immediately following code is:

	ptp->devid = MKDEV(major, index);
	ptp->index = index;
	INIT_LIST_HEAD(&ptp->tsevqs);
	queue = kzalloc(sizeof(*queue), GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!queue)
		goto no_memory_queue;

The goto above results in:

	return ERR_PTR(err);

But here err is 0. This does not seem correct.
