Did you find more of these?
it doesn't matter much either way, but if you do multiple such patches,
I'd suggest using a single PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() instead of IS_ERR()+PTR_ERR().
I have found a couple of drivers in which that leads to better object
code, and avoids a warning about a possibly uninitialized variable
when the function gets inlined into another one (which won't happen
for this driver).
