[PATCH] iio: dummy_evgen: modify the return value check for irq_sim_init()

[PATCH] iio: dummy_evgen: modify the return value check for irq_sim_init()

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

As discussed with Marc Zyngier: irq_sim_init() and its devres variant
should return the base of the allocated interrupt range on success
rather than 0. This will be modified later - first, change the way
users handle the return value of these routines.

I'm happy to take this but if it goes via my tree whilst the
other changes take a different path you are going to slow things
down considerably (a kernel cycle for this change to be in the
upstream of where the fix gets applied).  So I would bundle
it up in a single patch set with the more major changes.

If you still want me to take it let me know, but if it
might go via another route then

There's no hurry with that, it doesn't cause any problems really and
the same change must be applied to gpio-mockup. I planned to actually
change the return value for 4.17 after all users are modified for
4.16.

How does it sound?

Thanks,
Bartosz

It's fine if slow.  Up to you though.

Anyhow, I've applied this to the togreg branch of iio.git and pushed out
as testing for the autobuilders to play with it.
