Subject: [PATCH 5/8] pcwd_usb: usb_pcwd_ioctl: return IO errors
Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2023 15:33:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230427133350.31064-6-oneukum@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230427133350.31064-1-oneukum@suse.com>

Reporting back to user space that a watchdog
is disabled although it is not due to an IO error
is evil. Pass through errors.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
Signed-off-by: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.com>
