[PATCH] drivers: net: ethernet: 3com: fix return value

From: Thomas Preisner <hidden>
Date: 2016-12-23 23:00:27
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: 3cr990 network driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: David Dillow, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

In a few cases the err-variable is not set to a negative error code if a
function call fails and thus 0 is returned instead.
It may be better to set err to the proper negative error code before
returning.
