why you are inserting new line here?

No, now this will introduce a new checkpatch warning that "else is not
required after return". why did you introduce this "else"?

I did it so that its readable, will remove it if not required

I did this so that the code is more readable and understandable, I
checked and checkpatch didn't call this out , so its clean.

Otherwise the above code looks like this

if(i)
return 1;
return 0;

That looks fine.

I haven't looked at the code in detail. Is it normal that the return
values seem to be 0 1 and -1? Which values represent success and which
represent an error? It is nicer to have the errors under if and success
as a direct return at the end.

you should update your tree. virtpci folder has been deleted from
unisys driver.
As you are using an old tree, maybe that explains why checkpatch is not
giving the error.

This is from linux-stable branch and I updated it just yesterday, so looks like the folders still there

if you are sending patches for staging then you should work with
staging-testing tree.

Here in this driver directory, return 1 means SUCCESS and return 0 means FAILURE
So you mean my code change is fine?

What is -1?

> So you mean my code change is fine?

I think it would be best to have the success case that is not under an if.
So if (!i)
return 0;
return 1;

I guess some day the driver would need more normal error codes?
