Subject[patch] portman2x4.c: fix boot hang
Subject: portman2x4.c: fix boot hang
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

when booting an allyesconfig bzImage kernel the bootup hangs in the
portman2x4 driver (on a box that does not have this hardware), at:

Pid: 1, comm: swapper
EIP: 0060:[<c02f763c>] CPU: 0
EIP is at parport_pc_read_status+0x4/0x8
EFLAGS: 00000202 Not tainted (2.6.23-rc9 #904)
EAX: f7e57a7f EBX: 00000010 ECX: c2b808c0 EDX: 00000379

[<c04613de>] portman_flush_input+0xde/0x12c
[<c0461a24>] snd_portman_probe+0x368/0x484

[<c02faea1>] bus_for_each_drv+0x35/0x68
[<c02fbc22>] device_attach+0x72/0x78

the reason is due to an inconsistent error return code of 1 or 2, while
snd_portman_probe only realizes negative error codes.

with this fixed the probe fails as it should and the bootup continues.
