ARM: OMAP: use consistent error checking
Consistently check errors using the usual method used in the kernel
for much of its history. For instance:
int gpmc_cs_set_timings(int cs, const struct gpmc_timings *t)
{
int div;
div = gpmc_calc_divider(t->sync_clk);
if (div < 0)
return div;
static int gpmc_set_async_mode(int cs, struct gpmc_timings *t)
{
...
return gpmc_cs_set_timings(cs, t);
.....
ret = gpmc_set_async_mode(gpmc_onenand_data->cs, &t);
if (IS_ERR_VALUE(ret))
return ret;
So, gpmc_cs_set_timings() thinks any negative return value is an error,
but where we check that in higher levels, only a limited range are
errors...
There is only _one_ use of IS_ERR_VALUE() in arch/arm which is really
appropriate, and that is in arch/arm/include/asm/syscall.h:
static inline long syscall_get_error(struct task_struct *task,
struct pt_regs *regs)
{
unsigned long error = regs->ARM_r0;
return IS_ERR_VALUE(error) ? error : 0;
}
because this function really does have to differentiate between error
return values and addresses which look like negative numbers (eg, from
mmap()).
So, here's a patch to remove them from OMAP, except for the above.
