I see (in 3.3) that the host controller driver does a "return ret" and
that means the errors is propagated.
Where is the return code lost /overridden ?
The return code gets overridden due to the call to host->pdata->resume()
which always returns 0.
Thanks - I see what you mean. But the patch is clunky.
A clean fix would be to not capture the return code of resume() in
"ret" and let the old
value of ret be propagated as is.
I agree. However, right now there's a dev_dbg() which checks for the return code.
I could change the host->pdata->resume() and host->pdata->suspend() to not return
anything if that's acceptable.
That's a good idea.
More importantly, is this the right fix or does the driver need some other fix
to make sure that such suspend failures do not occur at all?
I will look into this - but haven't seen such failures here to know
what's behind the symptom.
