    drivers/net/ethernet/natsemi/natsemi.c: fix error return code · 52428d91
    Peter Senna Tschudin authored
    The function natsemi_probe1() return 0 for success and negative value
    for most of its internal tests failures. There is one exception
    that is error case going to err_create_file:. Fore this error case the
    function abort its success execution path, but returns non negative value,
    making it difficult for a caller function to notice the error.
    
    This patch fixes the error case that do not return negative value.
    
    This was found by Coccinelle, but the code change was made by hand.
    This patch is not robot generated.
    
    A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is
    as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
    
    // <smpl>
    (
    if@p1 (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\))
     { ... return ret; }
    |
    ret@p1 = 0
    )
    ... when != ret = e1
        when != &ret
    *if(...)
    {
      ... when != ret = e2
          when forall
     return ret;
    }
    // </smpl>
