[PATCH] ASoC: cs-amp-lib: Simplify overcomplicated error return
Posted by Richard Fitzgerald 1 week, 3 days ago
In cs_amp_devm_get_dell_ssidex() remove an unnecessary special case check
on -ENOENT that just returned -ENOENT. The other branch of the if()
statement returned the error, which would of course return -ENOENT if the
error was -ENOENT and so do exactly the same as the first branch.

The whole if statement is identical to just returning the original pointer
if it is an error value.

      https://git.kernel.org/broonie/sound/c/3b28b14b794c

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
