[PATCH] staging: greybus: audio: expect 0 from kstrtoint(), not 1
Posted by Alexander A. Klimov 4 days, 3 hours ago 
kstrtoint() returns "0 on success, -ERANGE on overflow
and -EINVAL on parsing error". In contrast,
manager_sysfs_remove_store() and manager_sysfs_dump_store()
checked for 1 which always failed the operation. I fixed this.

Fixes: f9a21a3f4919 ("staging: greybus: audio_manager_sysfs: Replace sscanf with kstrto* to single variable conversion.")

Doesn't checkpatch now complain about this?

Please use lore.kernel.org, not lkml.

Also, when using b4 to apply this, it sucked in a bunch of other random
patches for you, please make new threads for everything you send.

Why is that showing up?

What about trying --strict?

Anyway, think about rewriting the check for "== 0" now, that is not
normal kernel style.

The checkpatch rules is only for NULL.  You're, of course, right that
== 0 is bad style here but there are be times where it is idiomatic to
check for == 0 or != 0.

I only bring this up to promote my blog.

As I already said, https://lkml.org/lkml/diff/2026/5/20/2139/1
cuts off the commit message.

I'll send v2 in a minute.
I **guess** you want X,!X instead of X!=0,X==0.
