Subject: [ 15/19] thermal: return an error on failure to register thermal class
Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2013 15:50:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130410225028.382884020@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130410225026.833809117@linuxfoundation.org>

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Richard Guy Briggs <rbriggs@redhat.com>

commit da28d966f6aa942ae836d09729f76a1647932309 upstream.

The return code from the registration of the thermal class is used to
unallocate resources, but this failure isn't passed back to the caller of
thermal_init.  Return this failure back to the caller.

This bug was introduced in changeset 4cb18728 which overwrote the return code
when the variable was re-used to catch the return code of the registration of
the genetlink thermal socket family.
