Subject: [PATCH v2] lance: Return correct error code
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2016 20:33:26 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160217150326.GA3116@amitoj-Inspiron-3542> (raw)
Failure of kzalloc should cause the enclosing function
to return -ENOMEM, not -ENODEV.
Additionally, removed the following checkpatch warnings:
ERROR: spaces required around that '==' (ctx:VxV)
ERROR: space required before the open parenthesis '('
CHECK: Comparison to NULL could be written "!lp"
Signed-off-by: Amitoj Kaur Chawla <amitoj1606@gmail.com>
