ARM: OMAP: use consistent error checking
Consistently check errors using the usual method used in the kernel for much of its history. For instance: int gpmc_cs_set_timings(int cs, const struct gpmc_timings *t) { int div; div = gpmc_calc_divider(t->sync_clk); if (div < 0) return div; static int gpmc_set_async_mode(int cs, struct gpmc_timings *t) { ... return gpmc_cs_set_timings(cs, t); ..... ret = gpmc_set_async_mode(gpmc_onenand_data->cs, &t); if (IS_ERR_VALUE(ret)) return ret; So, gpmc_cs_set_timings() thinks any negative return value is an error, but where we check that in higher levels, only a limited range are errors... There is only _one_ use of IS_ERR_VALUE() in arch/arm which is really appropriate, and that is in arch/arm/include/asm/syscall.h: static inline long syscall_get_error(struct task_struct *task, struct pt_regs *regs) { unsigned long error = regs->ARM_r0; return IS_ERR_VALUE(error) ? error : 0; } because this function really does have to differentiate between error return values and addresses which look like negative numbers (eg, from mmap()). So, here's a patch to remove them from OMAP, except for the above. Acked-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
