[PATCH v2 0/7] ALSA: Remove redundant open helper return checks

[phucduc.bui@gmail.com]

From: bui duc phuc <phucduc.bui@gmail.com>

Hi all,

This series removes redundant error checks after calls to
nonseekable_open() and stream_open() in the ALSA core.

nonseekable_open() always returns 0, so checking its return value is
unnecessary.

Several users were later converted from nonseekable_open() to
stream_open(), but the original error checks were retained.
Since stream_open() also always returns 0, those checks are likewise
unnecessary.

As a result, all patches simply remove dead error handling paths with no
functional change.

Change in v2 : 
 - Drop the unnecessary assignment of the return value from
   nonseekable_open()/stream_open(), as suggested by Takashi.
 - Merge the individual patches into a single patch series.

Best regards,
Phuc
