From 6015bb25e7b390b28a33caeee97c4e6288c4bcc7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chunyan Zhang Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2016 18:18:09 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] coresight: stm: return error code instead of zero in .packet() In STM framework driver, the trace data writing loop would keep running until it received a negative return value or the whole trace packet has been written to STM device. So if the .packet() of STM device always returns zero since the device is not enabled or the parameter isn't supported, STM framework driver will stall into a dead loop. Returning -EACCES (Permission denied) in .packet() if the device is disabled makes more sense, and this is the same for returning -EINVAL if the channel passed into is not supported.
