This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
tty:serial:mvebu-uart:fix a wrong return
to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

in this place, the function should return a negative value and the PTR_ERR already returns a negative,so return -PTR_ERR() is wrong.
