From: Claudiu Beznea <claudiu.beznea.uj@bp.renesas.com>

pm_runtime_put() may return an error code. Check its return status.

Along with it the rzg2l_wdt_set_timeout() function was updated to
propagate the result of rzg2l_wdt_stop() to its caller.

Changes in v2:
- propagate the return code of rzg2l_wdt_stop() to it's callers

Do we need to check the return code? So far we didn't hit this

condition.

If you are planning to do it, then just

return pm_runtime_put(wdev->parent);

pm_runtime_put() may return 1 if the device is suspended (which is not
considered error) as explained here:

Oops, I missed that discussion. Out of curiosity,
What watchdog framework/consumer is going to do with a
Non-error return value of 1?

You mean what the watchdog subsystem does if a driver violates its API ?
That is undefined. The API says:

* start: this is a pointer to the routine that starts the watchdog timer
   device.
   The routine needs a pointer to the watchdog timer device structure as a
   parameter. It returns zero on success or a negative errno code for failure.
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We are not going to change the API, if that is what you are suggesting.

Thanks,
Guenter
