From: Bolarinwa Olayemi Saheed <redacted> On failure pcie_capability_read_dword() sets it's last parameter, val to 0. However, with Patch 14/14, it is possible that val is set to ~0 on failure. This would introduce a bug because (x & x) == (~0 & x). This bug can be avoided without changing the function's behaviour if the return value of pcie_capability_read_dword is checked to confirm success. Check the return value of pcie_capability_read_dword() to ensure success. Suggested-by: Bjorn Helgaas <redacted> Signed-off-by: Bolarinwa Olayemi Saheed <redacted>
