Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mfd: gateworks-gsc: Propagate errors from gsc_store()
Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2026 15:18:49 +0800 (CST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261108151849390eWkZBJaNgwJDsb5MuOMLo@zte.com.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261108151842879F_ON2AUBnuh5imOx8oZ1w@zte.com.cn>

From: Shao Mingyin <shao.mingyin@zte.com.cn>

gsc_store() ignores both the kstrtol() result and the value returned by
gsc_powerdown(), so an invalid argument or a failed I2C write is reported
to userspace as a successful sysfs store.

Return both errors to the caller.  The gsc_powerdown() error only became
reachable with the preceding patch, which makes gsc_write() report I2C
failures.

Fixes: d85234994b2f ("mfd: Add Gateworks System Controller core driver")
