Hello All,
This is a simple patch that changes several "return EBLAH"'s in drivers/*
for "return -EBLAH". I have done my best to check the call stack to ensure
that the change in sign of the return values wont break anything.
The patch supplied is agaist linux-2.4.19-pre6
Yours Tony.

At least the changes to plip.c are wrong.
ERROR is not an errno value:
#define ERROR 2
and the return from this function is propgated to a test
if (error != ERROR) { /* Timeout */
Which will go wrong with the suggested patch.

I'll add the usb driver changes to my tree, thanks.
Now if only those function return values were actually checked in the
code... :)
