[PATCH] usb: core: don't power off roothub PHYs if phy_set_mode() fails
Posted by Gabor Juhos 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Remove the error path from the usb_phy_roothub_set_mode() function.
The code is clearly wrong, because phy_set_mode() calls can't be
balanced with phy_power_off() calls.

Additionally, the usb_phy_roothub_set_mode() function is called only
from usb_add_hcd() before it powers on the PHYs, so powering off those
makes no sense anyway.

Presumably, the code is copy-pasted from the phy_power_on() function
without adjusting the error handling.
