Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: r8188eu: convert rtw_pwr_wakeup to correct error code semantics

Convert the rtw_pwr_wakeup function to use 0 on success and an appropriate
error code on error. For the first failure block where ips_leave is
invoked, use -ENOMEM as this is the main cause of failure here anyway.
For the second failure block, use -EBUSY, as it seems the most
appropriate.

Finally, within the functions rtw_wx_set_mode, rtw_wx_set_wap,
rtw_wx_set_scan and rtw_wx_set_essid, pass the error code on from
rtw_pwr_wakeup as appropriate now that it is converted.

This gets the driver closer to removal of the non-standard _SUCCESS and
_FAIL definitions, which are inverted compared to the standard in-kernel
error code mechanism.

Signed-off-by: Phillip Potter <[email protected]>
---

Changes from V1: Act on feedback from Dan Carpenter:
* Try to use more appropriate error codes than -EPERM.
* Revert the places where existing -1 was converted as they are out of
scope.
* Preserve error codes in places where calling function already uses
proper negative semantics, so that they can be passed through to the
caller.

This is a much better patch, right? Everything hangs together better.

There are seven callers which need to be updated and all of them are
updated.

Agreed, much cleaner this way. Thanks very much for the Reviewed-by tag
:-)

I'll attempt to structure the others in a similar fashion, as far as is
possible anyway.

Nit, you don't need to set this again, as you already set it above to 0.

I'll take this as-is, as you are just keeping the original duplicated
logic, but it's something to clean up later.

Nice to see that moving to using the standard error values actually
removed lines of code, that's encouraging.

Fine with me, either works.

I would sort of prefer to drop the initialization and keep this one.

Otherwise it causes a Smatch warning about missing error codes. It
*looks* buggy too, like it should be an error path. Sometimes people
add a comment explaining why those are success paths and not error paths
which also works.

The Smatch check will no warn if there is a "ret = 0;" within 4(?) lines
of the goto because that's probably intentional.
