Subject: [patch]  Staging: rtl8712: fix an error test in start_drv_threads()
Date: Wed, 05 Mar 2014 08:43:19 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140305084319.GA9779@elgon.mountain> (raw)

Testing for "if (IS_ERR(padapter->cmdThread) < 0)" doesn't make sense.
The kthread_run() function returns error pointers on error pointers on
error so it should just be "if (IS_ERR(padapter->cmdThread))".
