Subject: [PATCH v3] staging: greybus: replace PTR_ERR() with %pe in error messages
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 07:26:24 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261015015624.22031-1-pavankumaryalagada@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Yalagada Pavan Kumar <pavankumaryalagada@gmail.com>
Use %pe to print error pointers directly and display their
error names.
Keep PTR_ERR() calls when the numeric error value is needed
for returning the error code.
Signed-off-by: Yalagada Pavan Kumar <pavankumaryalagada@gmail.com>

v3:
- Extend the %pe conversion throughout Greybus, as suggested by Alex Elder.
v2:
- Use %pe in the firmware management case, as suggested by Jeremy Clifton,
to match the other cases.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/outreachy/as0nhVbagZa8Birm@user/T/#t
