[PATCH] net: chelsio: cxgb4vf: Fix an error code in cxgb4vf_pci_probe()

From: Zheyu Ma <hidden>
Date: 2021-11-23 02:22:04
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: cxgb4vf ethernet driver (cxgb4vf), networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Potnuri Bharat Teja, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

During the process of driver probing, probe function should return < 0
for failure, otherwise kernel will treat value == 0 as success.

Therefore, we should set err to -EINVAL when
adapter->registered_device_map is NULL. Otherwise kernel will assume
that driver has been successfully probed and will cause unexpected
errors.
