[PATCH] staging: kpc2000: kpc_dma: set error code in probe

From: Evgeny Novikov
Date: Tue Jun 23 2020 - 04:30:35 EST


If device_create() fails during probing the device, kpc_dma_probe() does
not set the error code and returns 0. This can result in various bad
issues later. The patch sets the error code on the corresponding error
handling path.
