[PATCH v1 1/1] driver core: Return proper error code when dev_set_name() fails

From: Andy Shevchenko
Date: Thu Aug 17 2023 - 05:13:30 EST


Whe device_add() tries to assign a device name with help of
dev_set_name() the error path explicitly uses -EINVAL, while
the function may return something different.
