[PATCH 2/2] mfd: ab8500-core: Return zero in get_register_interruptible()

From: Dan Carpenter <hidden>
Date: 2018-10-18 08:06:04
Also in: kernel-janitors, lkml
Subsystem: arm/nomadik/ux500 architectures, multifunction devices (mfd), the rest · Maintainers: Linus Walleij, Lee Jones, Linus Torvalds

I just noticed this in review.  The get_register_interruptible() should
return zero on success but it instead returns the value that it read.

I looked at all the places that called this directly and they check for
negatives and treat greater than or equal to zero as success.  This
function is also called as the ->get_register() function pointer.  Some
of the callers of that treat all non-zero returns as errors, so it's
possible that this bug causes some problems in real life.

I could not find any callers that rely on the current behavior, and this
makes the function align with the get_register_interruptible() in
ab3100-core.c.

Fixes: 47c1697508f2 ("mfd: Align ab8500 with the abx500 interface")
