| |
This patch changes the show() method of the "state" sysfs attribute to propagate errors returned by the enable_show() op. In this way, userspace can distinguish between when the bridge is actually "enabled" (i.e., allowing signals) or "disabled" (i.e., gating signals), or when there is an error.
Currently, enable_show() returns an integer representing the bridge's state (enabled or disabled) or an error code. However, this integer value is interpreted in state_show() as a bool, resulting in the method printing "enabled" (i.e., the bridge allows signals to pass), without propagating the error, even when enable_show() returns an error code.
Thanks
