Why?
Looking at misc_register function the rule is

"A zero is returned on success and a negative errno code for failure."

So test for !=0 is also correct!!

Sorry probably because I have used Ccr instead of Cc I have also sent this patch
to Benjamin Herrenschmidt ( the ppc APM manteiner) and now this patch
is on the -mm
tree as show below!

Sorry!!
