Subject: [PATCH net] ch9200: return error on failed register writes in ch9200_bind()
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 23:25:02 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914202503.52920-1-s.shtylyov@auroraos.dev> (raw)

The successful register writes, done via the USB control requests in
control_write(), seem vital for the normal functioning of the device,
however the driver's bind() method ignores error codes returned from
control_write().  Do bail out of ch9200_bind() on failed writes...

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace
static analysis tool.

Fixes: 4a476bd6d1d9 ("usbnet: New driver for QinHeng CH9200 devices")
Signed-off-by: Sergey Shtylyov <s.shtylyov@auroraos.dev>

---
Changes in version 2:
- switched to checking for the negative error values instead of non-zero;
- added the Fixes tag, retargeting the patch to the net.git repo;
- dropped [RFT] from the subject.
