From 1efbee6852f1ff698a9981bd731308dd027189fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bartosz Golaszewski bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2025 15:36:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mfd: vexpress-sysreg: Check the return value of devm_gpiochip_add_data()
Commit 974cc7b93441 ("mfd: vexpress: Define the device as MFD cells") removed the return value check from the call to gpiochip_add_data() (or rather gpiochip_add() back then and later converted to devres) with no explanation. This function however can still fail, so check the return value and bail-out if it does.
