Re: [PATCH] i2c driver fixes for 2.6.4

[Greg KH <greg@kroah.com>]

ChangeSet 1.1608.74.3, 2004/03/09 14:58:25-08:00, rmk+lkml@arm.linux.org.uk

[PATCH] I2C: Fix i2c_use_client()

i2c_use_client() contains a bogosity.  If i2c_inc_use_client() returns
success, i2c_use_client() returns an error.  If i2c_inc_use_client()
fails, i2c_use_client() might succeed.

Fix it so that (a) we get the correct sense between these two functions,
and (b) propagate the error code from i2c_inc_use_client(), rather than
making our own one up.
