Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: gpib: cb7210: Add error handling
Date: Sat, 21 Dec 2024 14:41:25 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241221091121.35476-1-niharchaithanya@gmail.com> (raw)

The if condition in cb7210_init_module() would always fail as
the value of err is constantly 0. The function
cb_pcmcia_init_module() can be refactored into a single line,
and can be replaced entirely with pcmcia_register_driver().

Replace redundant cb_pcmcia_init_module() with
pcmcia_register_driver() which returns appropriate error code if
it fails. Handle the error if it fails and print the debug message.

This issue was reported by Coverity Scan.
Report:
CID 1635894: (#1 of 1): 'Constant' variable guards dead code (DEADCODE)
dead_error_line: Execution cannot reach this statement: return -1;.

v1 --> v2: Replaced the redundant cb_pcmcia_init_module() with
	   pcmcia_register_driver().
