Subject: Re: [PATCH] lpfc: Positive error return into negative
Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2010 14:31:02 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B633776.6060404@emulex.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4B62B3C6.5090903@gmail.com>

This is innoculous as the code really only cares whether it's zero or 
non-zero. But, there's no harm in being consistent.
