ChangeSet 1.1608.74.3, 2004/03/09 14:58:25-08:00, rmk+lkml@arm.linux.org.uk [PATCH] I2C: Fix i2c_use_client() i2c_use_client() contains a bogosity. If i2c_inc_use_client() returns success, i2c_use_client() returns an error. If i2c_inc_use_client() fails, i2c_use_client() might succeed. Fix it so that (a) we get the correct sense between these two functions, and (b) propagate the error code from i2c_inc_use_client(), rather than making our own one up. drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c | 7 +++++-- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff -Nru a/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c b/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c --- a/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c Mon Mar 15 14:35:07 2004 +++ b/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c Mon Mar 15 14:35:07 2004 @@ -437,8 +437,11 @@ int i2c_use_client(struct i2c_client *client) { - if (!i2c_inc_use_client(client)) - return -ENODEV; + int ret; + + ret = i2c_inc_use_client(client); + if (ret) + return ret; if (client->flags & I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_USE) { if (client->flags & I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_MULTIPLE_USE)
