Subject: [PATCH] of: correct of_console_check()'s return value
Date: Wed,  3 Sep 2014 11:06:43 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1409767603-3290-1-git-send-email-computersforpeace@gmail.com> (raw)

The comments above of_console_check() say that it will return TRUE if it
registers a preferred console, but add_preferred_console() uses a
0-equals-success convention, so ths leaves of_console_check() with an
inconsistent policy for its return values.

Fortunately, nobody was actually checking the return value of
of_console_check(), so this isn't significant at the moment.

But let's match the comments, so we're doing what we say.

Fixes: 3482f2c52b77 ('of: Create of_console_check() for selecting a console specified in /chosen')

This is one way to fix it. Another possibility includes changing
of_console_check() to use 0-as-success
