Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/smp: parse_thread_groups() return error on missing property
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 08:44:57 +0106 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mrrbrhf2.fsf@jogness.linutronix.de> (raw)
parse_thread_groups() is supposed to return -EINVAL if the property
does not exist and -ENODATA if property does not have a value.
However, it is currently assuming it exists and blindly calling
kzalloc_objs() with whatever of_property_count_u32_elems() returns.
Since of_property_count_u32_elems() returns exactly these same error
values in those cases, simply return with the returned error value.
