[PATCH] iio: frequency: admv4420: return proper error code from admv4420_calc_parameters()
Posted by Antoniu Miclaus 1 week ago
Return -EINVAL instead of -1 when no valid PLL parameters solution is
found. Using standard kernel error codes ensures consistency and proper
error propagation through the call chain.

Applied to a local branch. I'll need to rebase on something sensible after
the merge window. For now I'll push out as testing.

Thanks
