Subject[PATCH 5/5] driver core: let dev_set_drvdata return int instead of void as it can fail
Date
Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>
---
Hello,

I wasn't sure what to return when dev_set_drvdata is called with
dev=NULL. I choosed 0, but -EINVAL would be OK for me, too. What do you
think?

And we could add __must_check, maybe do this later =:-)

Best regards
Uwe
