Subject: [KJ] linux-2.6.15.4/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c.bak:  EPERM -> EINVAL
Date: Sat, 25 Feb 2006 12:30:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44004DD8.2040606@bfs.de> (raw)

Hi list,
it was noticed that some driver return EPERM instead of EINVAL.
EPERM indicates no enought privilege to access a function.
This will fixit an return (i hope) a 'better' error msg.
