Subject: [PATCH v3 2/6] watchdog: starfive: treat pm_runtime_put_sync() positive return as success
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2026 13:19:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d3940b490ca9ba7e23bf90b4b2aefc23ca2facf9.1780666366.git.william@theesfeld.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1780666366.git.william@theesfeld.net>
pm_runtime_put_sync() can return a positive value to signal a
non-error condition (for example, the device was already in the
requested state); only negative return values are real errors.
Both starfive_wdt_pm_stop() and starfive_wdt_probe() currently treat
any non-zero return as failure: pm_stop returns the value verbatim,
which the watchdog framework propagates as an error, and probe takes
the err_unregister_wdt path even on a successful but non-zero return.
Mask off the positive return value in pm_stop and tighten the probe
check to "< 0" so the legitimate positive return is no longer
mishandled.
