[PATCH] tty: serial: return appropriate error on failure

From: Vihas Mak <hidden>
Date: 2021-12-07 22:18:22
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

when a user with CAP_SYS_ADMIN disabled calls ioctl (TIOCSSERIAL),
uart_set_info() returns 0 instead of -EPERM and the user remains unware
about what went wrong. Fix this.
