Thank you for your feedback. I agree with you. Hiding the correct return
value under two levels of 'if' is not the best idea.
I will send a v5 containing the proposal from Lorenzo. There is only one
difference: We must call 'put_device()' in both error cases, because
we have already initialized the device before. We had also jumped into
'put_dev:' in both situations before.
The modified code will then look like this:
ret = dev_set_name(dev, "%s", name);
if (ret) {
put_device(dev);
return ERR_PTR(ret);
}
ret = device_add(dev);
if (ret) {
put_device(dev);
return ERR_PTR(ret);
}
return epf;
Best regards,
Rolf
