Hi Angelo,
I was maybe a bit too quick on fixing this that way.
Anyway it doesn't change a thing as mtk_hdmi_pll_set_hw() eitheir
returns 0 or -EINVAL.
But I agree that the logic is dubious and propagating the return value
is the right thing
to do.

I see that Arnd and Tom posted versions that you might prefer:

Thx,
Guillaume.
