-1 is not a valid error code. This patch replaces it with -EPERM.
Can you explain how it will work ?
In scom_debug_init() rc is built by oring the value returned by
scom_debug_init_one().
What will be the result when oring some valid values with -EPERM ?
It was working well with -1 because when you or -1 with anything you get
-1 as result. But with your change I don't think it will work.

But Isn't EPERM defined to be 1.
