From 9a32bb39d6a48d435135695763e5e4a06652eeda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Khoroshilov Date: Sun, 2 Sep 2012 00:31:58 +0400 Subject: ppdev: ppdev_init: do not return zero in case of failure Error handling of parport_register_driver() in ppdev_init() is broken because it deallocates all resources but still returns zero. Currently parport_register_driver() always succeeds. Nevertheless it is worth to fix the issue. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
