[PATCH 1/3] [v3] hvc_dcc: don't ignore errors during initialization

From: Timur Tabi <hidden>
Date: 2015-08-19 23:02:48
Subsystem: hypervisor virtual console driver, the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

hvc_instantiate() and hvc_alloc() return errors if they fail, so don't
ignore them.
