Subject: [PATCH 2/2] staging/sm7xxfb: return a proper err for smtc_alloc_fb_info failure
Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2012 11:19:15 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1341899355-17387-2-git-send-email-devendra.aaru@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1341899355-17387-1-git-send-email-devendra.aaru@gmail.com>
as smtc_alloc_fb_info can fail, but we are returning the 0,
how? because the pci_enable_device succeeded, which makes the probe
return 0, and may cause panics or some strange problems at remove
when driver unloaded by modprobe -r.
so return err properly as smtc_alloc_fb_info is doing kzallocs its
good to do -ENOMEM
