Subject: [PATCH] video: pxa3xx-gcu: Return -EFAULT when copy_from_user()
Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2011 09:39:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1294997951.12295.1.camel@mola> (raw)

Return -EFAULT instead of number of bytes that could not be copied if
copy_from_user() fails.

Also fix a typo in the comments.
