From a434c2407467a76c0e1416c45f7b31cfbe1b6b3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Samuel Ortiz Date: Sun, 22 Dec 2013 01:00:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] NFC: Only warn on SE discovery error SE discovery errors are currently overwriting the dev_up() return error. This is wrong for many reasons: - We don't want to report an error if we actually brought the device up but it failed to discover SEs. By doing so we pretend we don't have an NFC functional device even we do. The only thing we could not do was checking for SEs availability. This is the false negative case. - In some cases the actual device power up failed but the SE discovery succeeded. Userspace then believes the device is up while it's not. This is the false positive case.
