Well, I don't have this specific hardware in my hands, but, if you follow the logic there, it sounds ok to ignore. It should be noticed that, on some devices, some I2C commands will only return after having the device powered up and its firmware loaded. As this code is at the powerup part of the code, it sound reasonable to assume that the I2C read might fail. So, this change is less aggressive than just returning, as the driver may be relying on a fail read already. --- If you follow the logic of this routine, a fail to read means that the hardware is not able to return to this specific I2C command, either because it was physically (or logically) removed or because it was not properly powered up. If it was removed, trying to send I2C commands to power it up will return errors, so the first attempt of writing data to it will return an error. If, on the other hand, the hardware was not properly powered up, status = 0 will mean that all parts of the chipset should be powered on. As this is the only place at the driver where a read is not checked for its success, I'm assuming that this is the original intent of the driver's author. Thanks, Mauro
