[PATCH -next] mtd: nand: omap: fix error return code in omap_nand_probe()

[Wei Yongjun]

From: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@trendmicro.com.cn>

Fix to return a negative error code from the error handling
case instead of 0, as done elsewhere in this function.

It sounds OK by my reading. Unless you're having trouble parsing what
"as done elsewhere in this function" is being applied to. (IOW, is the
rest of the function returning a negative error code on the error
paths, or is it returning 0? Of course the answer is the former, but
it's possible to misread it.) If it helps, I can try to tweak the
wording a bit when applying this patch.

Pekon, can I get an Acked-by?

Thanks,
Brian

I guess you'd prefer Pekon's ack than mine, but anyway:

Acked-by: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel.garcia@free-electrons.com>

I'd like to point out this driver has other "mis-behaviors" in returning codes
in some other places.

In particular, this pattern can be found repeatedly:

	if (do_something()) {
		err = -ENXIO;
		goto some_other_place;
	}

Which should probably be:

	err = do_something();
	if (err)
		goto some_other_place;

Wei: maybe you'd like to prepare some more patches?

Yes sure .. Sorry I was away from both mailbox and boards.

Eh, this patch was pretty small anyway. But extra eyes are good.

Yeah, these could be made more consistent. If the callee is choosing
good error codes, then we can just return them. But this is mostly
cosmetic.

No problem.

Thanks. Pushed to l2-mtd.git with a slight tweak in the description.

Hi Norris,

I checked the patch in l2-mtd.git.
The commit message looks good.
I understand what the patch means.
Thank you.
