Re: [PATCH v1] drivers: meson: sm: correct meson_sm_* API retval handling

Hi,

1. Following the ARM SMC32 calling convention, the return value
from secure monitor is a 32-bit signed integer. This patch changes
the type of the return value of the function meson_sm_call().

2. Now, when meson_sm_call() returns a 32-bit signed integer, we need
to ensure that this value is not negative. It is important to check
that the return value is not negative in both the meson_sm_call_read()
and meson_sm_call_write() functions.

Thanks, Applied to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/amlogic/linux.git (v6.7/drivers)

[1/1] drivers: meson: sm: correct meson_sm_* API retval handling
      https://git.kernel.org/amlogic/c/0d423c4a78984dd02f6596d6fd9dd40446eec517

These changes has been applied on the intermediate git tree [1].

The v6.7/drivers branch will then be sent via a formal Pull Request to the Linux SoC maintainers
for inclusion in their intermediate git branches in order to be sent to Linus during
the next merge window, or sooner if it's a set of fixes.

In the cases of fixes, those will be merged in the current release candidate
kernel and as soon they appear on the Linux master branch they will be
backported to the previous Stable and Long-Stable kernels [2].

The intermediate git branches are merged daily in the linux-next tree [3],
people are encouraged testing these pre-release kernels and report issues on the
relevant mailing-lists.

If problems are discovered on those changes, please submit a signed-off-by revert
patch followed by a corrective changeset.
