Subject: [PATCH v2] ata: sata_mv: Fix the error handling of mv_chip_id()
Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2021 09:12:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1634893946-16195-1-git-send-email-zheyuma97@gmail.com> (raw)
mv_init_host() propagates the value returned by mv_chip_id() which in turn
gets propagated by mv_pci_init_one() and hits local_pci_probe().
During the process of driver probing, the probe function should return < 0
for failure, otherwise, the kernel will treat value > 0 as success.
Since this is a bug rather than a recoverable runtime error we should
use dev_alert() instead of dev_err().
