Subject: [PATCH v2] usb: core: handle port status errors in disable_show()
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 01:04:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810230432.44511-1-kmehltretter@gmail.com> (raw)
usb_hub_port_status() leaves its output arguments untouched when the
status request fails. disable_show() nevertheless uses portstatus, so a
sysfs read may report the wrong port state instead of an error.
Propagate the status request error.
Fixes: f061f43d7418c ("usb: hub: port: add sysfs entry to switch port power")
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-fable-5
