Subject: Any reason why media_entity_pads_init() isn't void?
Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2016 09:25:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <56E6758F.7020205@xs4all.nl> (raw)

I was fixing a sparse warning in media_entity_pads_init() and I noticed that that
function always returns 0. Any reason why this can't be changed to a void function?

That return value is checked a zillion times in the media code. By making it void
it should simplify code all over.

See e.g. uvc_mc_init_entity in drivers/media/usb/uvc/uvc_entity.c: that whole
function can become a void function itself.

Regards,

	Hans
