Hi William, here is somebody talking to you.
This part of the code was exactly what you wrote, with no change.
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/40126/
Are you telling us somebody else added bug to your code ? This is not the case, obviously.
After bug fix and cleanup code looks good, and even checkpatch.pl is fine with it. No need for useless brackets around "return XXX;" If I remember well, I did the cleanup so that my patch could not trigger checkpatch.pl errors/warnings. Not that I am a particular checkpatch fan, but I know some people are.
By the way, you were CCed when I sent one month ago the mail to David/netdev. And no reaction from you at that time.
