From: Thomas Preisner thomas.preisner+linux@fau.de

[ Upstream commit 107fded7bf616ad6f46823d98b8ed6405d7adf2d ]

In a few cases the err-variable is not set to a negative error code if a function call in typhoon_init_one() fails and thus 0 is returned instead. It may be better to set err to the appropriate negative error code before returning.
