[PATCH -next] mmc: aspeed: Fix return value check in aspeed_sdc_probe()

[PATCH -next] mmc: aspeed: Fix return value check in aspeed_sdc_probe()

[Wei Yongjun]

In case of error, the function of_platform_device_create() returns
NULL pointer not ERR_PTR(). The IS_ERR() test in the return value
check should be replaced with NULL test.

When we're adding new files, could we use the prefix for the new driver
instead of just the subsystem?  "mmc: aspeed: Add new driver"?
Otherwise it's tricky to know what people want for the driver.

I just wrote this same patch and I swear I would have sent my patch
earlier but I spent hours thinking about the patch prefix and then the
census people came to the house and delayed me even more.

regards,
dan carpenter

I don't have any issue with the request, but I don't understand this last
bit. What do you mean by "it's tricky to know what people want for the
driver"?

I ... have no idea why I wrote it that way. I must have just assumed it returned
an ERR_PTR(). Thanks for finding/fixing that.

There is no obvious algorithm that tells how to go from a file name to an
appropriate subject line prefix.

For MMC we normally use the name of the host driver file (excluding
".c") as part of the prefix.

For this case that means I amended the header into: mmc:
sdhci-of-aspeed: Fix return value check in aspeed_sdc_probe() and
applied it for next.

I also took the liberty to change this for the other related patches
for the "aspeed" driver to follow the same pattern.

Kind regards
Uffe
