[PATCH] crypto: ccp: Fix incorrect return type for psp_get_capability()
Posted by Yunseong Kim 4 weeks, 1 day ago
psp_get_capability() is declared as returning an 'unsigned int'. However,
it returns -ENODEV on failure when it cannot access the device registers
(i.e., when ioread32 returns 0xffffffff).

Since -ENODEV is a negative value, returning it from a function declared as
'unsigned int' results in an implicit cast to a large positive integer.
This prevents the caller psp_dev_init() from correctly detecting the
error condition, leading to improper error handling.

Fix this by changing the return type of psp_get_capability() to 'int'.

Additionally, change the type of the local variable 'val' to 'u32', which
is more appropriate for register access, and reformat the long dev_notice
line to adhere to kernel coding style guidelines.

So you have a couple of changes going on here...  which would mean
separate patches. But since the raw field of psp_cap_register is an
unsigned int and ioread32 returns an unsigned int, this doesn't need to
be changed at all.

This change is ok, everything else below is not needed.

Thanks,
