If this happens 's' will not be initialized, so without handling the error is_charging will be set to an arbitrary state in the following lines. Exiting early from twl4030_bci_get_property is ok and other HW read operation failures in the same function are exiting early with proper error code (as the patch introduced for the only read missing this). TL;DR: original patch is ok, I suggest to drop the revert. -- Sebastian > drivers/power/supply/twl4030_charger.c | 4 +--- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/power/supply/twl4030_charger.c b/drivers/power/supply/twl4030_charger.c > index 1bc49b2e12e8..dcbd9f03f31a 100644 > --- a/drivers/power/supply/twl4030_charger.c > +++ b/drivers/power/supply/twl4030_charger.c > @@ -805,9 +805,7 @@ static int twl4030_bci_get_property(struct power_supply *psy, > is_charging = state & TWL4030_MSTATEC_AC; > if (!is_charging) { > u8 s; > - ret = twl4030_bci_read(TWL4030_BCIMDEN, &s); > - if (ret < 0) > - return ret; > + twl4030_bci_read(TWL4030_BCIMDEN, &s); > if (psy->desc->type == POWER_SUPPLY_TYPE_USB) > is_charging = s & 1; > else > -- > 2.31.1 >
