'ret' is unsigned, so this code is wrong:

    ret = gpio_read_bit(...);
    ...
    if (ret > 0)

If gpio_read_bit() returns -EFAULT then (ret > 0) would be true.
Make 'ret' signed.


The semantic patch that finds this problem (many false-positive results):
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@ r1 @
identifier f;
@@
int f(...) { ... }

@@
identifier r1.f;
type T;
unsigned T x;
@@

*x = f(...)
 ...
*x > 0
