[PATCH v2 1/2] wwan: core: Avoid returning NULL from wwan_create_dev()

[Andy Shevchenko]

Make wwan_create_dev() to return either valid or error pointer,
In some cases it may return NULL. Prevent this by converting
it to the respective error pointer.

Fixes: 9a44c1cc6388 ("net: Add a WWAN subsystem")

A small nitpick, looks like "ida_alloc_range))" in the description is
a typo and should be "ida_alloc_range()". Besides this:

Yes, please. And specify the target tree in the subject, please. See
patchwork warning [1, 2]. The first patch is a clear bug fix, so it
should be targeted to the 'net' tree, while the second patch despite
its usefulness could not be considered a bug fix, so it should be
targeted to the 'net-next' tree. Subjects could be like this:

[PATCHv3 net 1/2] wwan: core: Avoid returning NULL from wwan_create_dev()
[PATCHv3 net-next 2/2] wwan: core: Unshadow error code returned by
ida_alloc_range()

Or since the second patch is not depends on the first one and patches
target different trees, patches could be submitted independently:

[PATCHv3 net] wwan: core: Avoid returning NULL from wwan_create_dev()
[PATCHv3 net-next] wwan: core: Unshadow error code returned by ida_alloc_range()
