[PATCH 0/2] fixes for ib-mfd-gpio-i2c-3.19

[Octavian Purdila]

Hi Lee,

A couple of patches that fixes a coccinelle warning found by Julia and
kbuild test robot. They are not critical and I don't know if they must
be pull through ib-mfd-gpio-i2c-3.19, please let me know if I need to
submit them elsewhere.

Thanks,
Tavi

[PATCH 1/2] mfd: dln2: fix _dln2_transfer return code

[Octavian Purdila]

If wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout returns a positive value
it may be propagated as the return value of _dln2_transfer. This
contradicts the documentation of the function and exposes unnecessary
internals to the callers.

This patch makes sure to set the return value to 0 in that case.

You need braces on both branches (without commenting on the fix itself).

I didn't keep around the code or the address of the git tree, but I wonder 
if this makes a later assignment of ret to 0 unnecessary?

Yes, you are right, we can skip setting it when ibuf is NULL. I will
send v2 that fixes this and the coding style issue.

This looks like a bogus warning. It's not generally equivalent (ret > 0)
and is not mandated by any style guide lines.

In this particular it should be equivalent (with the previous fix) and
it saves 5 lines, so I think its worth it.

It's marked as a warning because it is not generally equivalent.  But 
there may be many cases where it is equivalent, and in this case the 
documentation for the function said that it should have been.  So I think 
that the warning is useful.

I still think "warning" is too strong, "hint" would perhaps be more
appropriate, if at all needed.

Sure we can save four lines of code this way, but we also hide the
return value of the function so that instead of just looking at the
function itself I now have to look at the documentation of the final
function call (and hope it is up to date) to figure out the return
value (e.g. it may return the number of bytes transfered on success).

I also believe using a temporary is preferred for purely aesthetic
reasons in case the final function call has enough parameters that it
needs to use continuation lines.

Octavian indicated that he needs to send a v2 of the second patch.  I
assume he will add your Ack to this patch when he does with a note
saying that it needs to be added to the I2C IB.

Hi Lee,

Yes, I will to that, and add a couple more fixes from Dan Carpenter, a
little bit later tonight.
