As requested, here are the patchsets with the fixed subjects.
The subjects aswell as the subject prefixes are more precise now.
Hopefully that's ok.

Patch 1:
Makes the function typhoon_init_one() return a negative error code instead of 0.

Patch 2 [Optional]:
Makes the function typhoon_init_one() return the return value of the
corresponding failing function calls instead of a "fixed" negative error code.

Milan and Thomas
