I think Dan was recommending the opposite here, if I understood you both correctly: he said we should propagate the error code unless we know it's wrong, while you want to keep the current behavior to avoid introducing changes ;-) I guess in either case, looking at the callers more carefully would be a good idea. >> - return 0; >> + return ret; >> } >> >> int atomisp_flash_enable(struct atomisp_sub_device *asd, int num_frames) >> > > This is all very hackish, though.

Let me try again without ccache for now and see what warnings remain. We can find a solution for those first, and then decide how to deal with ccache.
