Which is scsiback_do_add_lun()? If yes then perhaps you could mention it 
in the commit message since there are few changes that this patch 
provides and it's not clear which is the one that prevents the warning.

I don't think using error code will require changing anything except the 
last line above (which is already a change anyway)

But using a bool is OK too.
