The common format to check if a function returned an error pointer is to
use PTR_ERR(). Instead of ERR_PTR() which is used to return said errors.
Also, if there was an error returning -EINVAL instead of -1 is more
appropriate.

These two changes could be argued to be separate changes deserving of
their own patches.

Hi Julian,
If you don't mind I will resend as two separate patches and include your

Providing there are no changes other than rebasing and splitting, I'm
fine with that.,
