Subject: [PATCH 2/3] net: Expose some errors generated in net_init
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2020 17:45:43 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200912214544.362594-3-seanga2@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200912214544.362594-1-seanga2@gmail.com>

net_init does not always succeed, and there is no existing mechanism to
discover errors. This patch allows callers of net_init (such as net_init)
to handle errors. The root issue is that eth_get_dev can fail, but
net_init_loop doesn't expose that. The ideal way to fix eth_get_dev would
be to return an error with ERR_PTR, but there are a lot of callers, and all
of them just check if it's NULL. Another approach would be to change the
signature to something like

int eth_get_dev(struct udevice **pdev)

but that would require rewriting all of the many callers.
