Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] serial: core: Fix error handling for serial_core_ctrl_device_add()
Date:   Fri,  2 Jun 2023 10:00:05 +0300
Message-ID: <20230602070007.59268-1-tony@atomide.com>

Checking for NULL is incorrect as serial_base_ctrl_add() uses ERR_PTR().

Let's also pass any returned error along, there's no reason to translate
all errors to -ENODEV.

Fixes: 84a9582fd203 ("serial: core: Start managing serial controllers to enable runtime PM")
Signed-off-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>

Changes since v1:

- Stop translating all errors to -ENODEV

- There's no need to use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() as noted by Jiri
