Subject: [PATCH 2/2] thermal: db8500_cpufreq_cooling: remove usage of IS_ERR_OR_NULL()
Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2013 10:13:34 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1366899214-22639-3-git-send-email-eduardo.valentin@ti.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1366899214-22639-1-git-send-email-eduardo.valentin@ti.com>
This patch changes the driver to avoid the usage of IS_ERR_OR_NULL()
macro. This macro can lead to dangerous results, like returning
success (0) during a failure scenario (NULL pointer handling).
The case present in this driver can be translated to a simple
check for IS_ERR(), as the cpufreq_cooling_register() returns
either a valid pointer or an ERR_PTR().
