Subject: [PATCH] driver core: fix error handling in bus_add_device
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.13-rc4~130^2~203^2^2~21
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ca2b94ba12f3c36fd3d6ed9d38b3798d4dad0d8b;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fkernel-adaptation-pc.git

[PATCH] driver core: fix error handling in bus_add_device

The error handling in bus_add_device() and device_attach() is simply
non-existing. This patch propagates any error from device_attach to
the upper layers to allow for a proper recovery.
