I like this..

fn ?: pn  (will this give us the results from the above question?
_both failed to be created_)
a bit confused with the whole:  "?:" though
*condition ? value if true : value if false* (what if both are true
what if both are false or does it matter?)

here is the patch itself with the change:



Fix a warning message generated by gcc:
Im getting a warning message when building with gcc 4.6.0
   CC      drivers/acpi/glue.o
drivers/acpi/glue.c: In function 'acpi_bind_one':
drivers/acpi/glue.c:163:7: warning: variable 'ret' set but not used
