[PATCH] scsi: osd_uld: fix mismerge

[PATCH] scsi: osd_uld: fix mismerge

[Arnd Bergmann]

A mismerge between two branches in linux-next reintroduced a warning that was
previously resolved:

drivers/scsi/osd/osd_uld.c: In function 'osd_probe':
drivers/scsi/osd/osd_uld.c:457:2: error: ignoring return value of 'scsi_device_get', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result]

The original fix had more complex error unrolling, but as far as I
can tell, this simpler version is now sufficient.

Fixes: c02465fa13b6 ("scsi: osd_uld: Check scsi_device_get() return value")
Fixes: ac1ddc584e98 ("scsi: utilize new cdev_device_add helper function")

Hello Arnd,

Both these patches are fine as far as I can tell. Shouldn't the
"Fixes" tag refer to the merge commit instead of to the commits
that have been merged?

Unfortunately, the merge commit is redone every day and will be redone
by Linus during the merge window.  This fix should be incorporated into
the merge commit itself.  I should have done it originally, but the
conflict was such a mess that I took the easy way out :-)

I will add this as a merge fix patch for the merge of the char-misc and
scsi trees today.  Someone needs to let Linus know when these trees are
merged.
