[PATCH] riscv: propagate insert_resource result from add_resource
Posted by Thorsten Blum 1 month ago
Currently, add_resource() returns 1 on success, even though its callers
only check for negative values. Instead, propagate the insert_resource()
result from add_resource() to align with standard kernel return-value
conventions (0 on success, negative errno on failure).

Maybe just use %pR for the resource start/end here and avoid
the casting.
