Hi
Always fun to get a patch included :)
It would be possible to change it to:
if (!token || strlcpy(busid, token, ZFCP_BUS_ID_SIZE) >= ZFCP_BUS_ID_SIZE)
goto err_out;
But I doubt if this does not degrade the clarity quite a lot however :-/
But tell me otherwise if you want a patch like that instead :-)
Kind regards
