[PATCH v2 -next] powerpc/pseries/memory-hotplug: Fix return value type of find_aa_index

[YueHaibing]

'aa_index' is defined as an unsigned value, but find_aa_index
may return -1 when dlpar_clone_property fails. So we use an rc
value to track the validation of finding the aa_index instead
of the 'aa_index' value itself

Thanks for sending a v2, some more comments ...

It's preferable to leave rc uninitialised until we actually need to
initialise it, that gives the compiler the chance to warn us if we use
it inadvertently before that.

So that would be here:
	rc = -1;

But ..

The 'rc' variable is basically a boolean now, it means "we found something".

And all we do with it in the found case (rc = 0) is test it below and return.

So can't we just return directly in the for loop above, rather than breaking?

In which case we don't need the rc variable at all.

And the whole function may as well return bool, rather than int.

Does that make sense?

cheers

Yes, will do that in v3.
