From: Rafael J. Wysocki <[email protected]> Failing driver probe due to pm_runtime_put() returning a negative value is not particularly useful.
Returning an error code from pm_runtime_put() merely means that it has not queued up a work item to check whether or not the device can be suspended and there are many perfectly valid situations in which that can happen, like after writing "on" to the devices' runtime PM "control" attribute in sysfs for one example. It also happens when the kernel has been configured with CONFIG_PM unset. Accordingly, update omap_hwspinlock_probe() to simply discard the return value of pm_runtime_put(). This will facilitate a planned change of the pm_runtime_put() return type to void in the future. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <[email protected]> --- This patch is part of a series, but it doesn't depend on anything else in that series. The last patch in the series depends on it. It can be applied by itself and if you decide to do so, please let me know. Otherwise, an ACK or equivalent will be appreciated, but also the lack of specific criticism will be eventually regarded as consent. --- drivers/hwspinlock/omap_hwspinlock.c | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/hwspinlock/omap_hwspinlock.c +++ b/drivers/hwspinlock/omap_hwspinlock.c @@ -101,9 +101,7 @@ static int omap_hwspinlock_probe(struct * runtime PM will make sure the clock of this module is * enabled again iff at least one lock is requested */ - ret = pm_runtime_put(&pdev->dev); - if (ret < 0) - return ret; + pm_runtime_put(&pdev->dev); /* one of the four lsb's must be set, and nothing else */ if (hweight_long(i & 0xf) != 1 || i > 8)
