This changes the behavior slightly in another way as well, but it's
probably a bug fix.

drivers/net/ethernet/mscc/ocelot_vsc7514.c
  1250          ports = of_get_child_by_name(np, "ethernet-ports");
  1251          if (!ports) {
  1252                  dev_err(ocelot->dev, "no ethernet-ports child node found\n");
  1253                  return -ENODEV;
  1254          }
  1255  
  1256          ocelot->num_phys_ports = of_get_child_count(ports);
  1257          ocelot->num_flooding_pgids = 1;
  1258  
  1259          ocelot->vcap = vsc7514_vcap_props;
  1260          ocelot->inj_prefix = OCELOT_TAG_PREFIX_NONE;
  1261          ocelot->xtr_prefix = OCELOT_TAG_PREFIX_NONE;
  1262          ocelot->npi = -1;
  1263  
  1264          err = ocelot_init(ocelot);
  1265          if (err)
  1266                  goto out_put_ports;
  1267  
  1268          err = mscc_ocelot_init_ports(pdev, ports);
  1269          if (err)
  1270                  goto out_put_ports;
  1271  
  1272          if (ocelot->ptp) {
  1273                  err = ocelot_init_timestamp(ocelot, &ocelot_ptp_clock_info);
  1274                  if (err) {
  1275                          dev_err(ocelot->dev,
  1276                                  "Timestamp initialization failed\n");
  1277                          ocelot->ptp = 0;
  1278                  }

In the original code, if ocelot_init_timestamp() failed we returned
a negative error code but now we return success.  This probably is what
the original authors intended, though.
