Subject: [PATCH] V4L: fix return value of register video func
Date: Sat, 09 Aug 2008 08:54:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <489D3F20.6000203@nachtwindheim.de> (raw)

From: Henrik Kretzschmar <henne@nachtwindheim.de>

If a wrong device type is used with video_register_device_index() it should
better return an error number, instead of a constant.
