Subject: x86: cacheinfo: correct return value when cache_disable feature is not active
X-Git-Tag: upstream/snapshot3+hdmi~18695^2~9
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=845d8c761ec763871936c62b837c4a9ea6d0fbdb;p=platform%2Fadaptation%2Frenesas_rcar%2Frenesas_kernel.git

x86: cacheinfo: correct return value when cache_disable feature is not active

Impact: bug fix

If user writes to "cache_disable" attribute on a CPU that does not support
this feature, the process hangs due to an invalid return value in
store_cache_disable().
