Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: atlantic: fix overwritten return value in Aquantia driver
Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2025 17:58:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250729005853.33130-1-27392025k@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Tian Liu <27392025k@gmail.com>

In hw_atl_utils.c and hw_atl_utils_fw2x.c, a return value is first assigned
to `err`, but then later calls overwrite it unconditionally. As a result,
any earlier failure is lost if the later call succeeds. This may cause the
driver to proceed when it should have stopped.

This patch uses `err |=` instead of assignment, so that any earlier error
is preserved even if later calls succeed. This is safe because all involved
functions return standard negative error codes (e.g. -EIO, -ETIMEDOUT, etc).
OR-ing such values does not convert them into success, and preserves the
indication that an error occurred.

Fixes: 6a7f2277313b4 ("net: aquantia: replace AQ_HW_WAIT_FOR with readx_poll_timeout_atomic")

Signed-off-by: Tian Liu <27392025k@gmail.com>

Changes in v2:
- Add full name in Signed-off-by
- Update subject to include [PATCH net v2]
- Add Fixes: tag
- Expand commit message to explain why OR-ing errors is safe
