Subject: [PATCH 7/20 V2] drivers/net/irda/mcs7780.c: fix error return code
Date: Fri,  5 Oct 2012 23:33:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1349472786-10921-3-git-send-email-peter.senna@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1349472786-10921-1-git-send-email-peter.senna@gmail.com>

From: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com>

The function mcs_probe() return 0 for success and negative value
for most of its internal tests failures. There is one exception
that is error case going to error2:. For this error case, the
function abort its success execution path, but returns non negative
value, making it difficult for a caller function to notice the error.

This patch fixes the error case that do not return negative value.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is
as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
(
if@p1 (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\))
 { ... return ret; }
|
ret@p1 = 0
)
... when != ret = e1
    when != &ret
*if(...)
{
  ... when != ret = e2
      when forall
 return ret;
}
// </smpl>
