Subject: [PATCH -next] pps: using ERR_PTR instead of NULL while pps_register_source fails
Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2018 18:24:22 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181126102422.24028-1-yuehaibing@huawei.com> (raw)

pps_register_source() has keeps error codes in a local variable,
but it does not make use of the code. This patch let it return
the errcode in case of failure.
