Subject: [S390] tape class return value handling.
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=25a2001a285e187d99ea347693bedd73b3e0722a;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

[S390] tape class return value handling.

Without this patch register_tape_dev() will always fail, but might
return a value that is not an error number. This will lead to accesses
to already freed memory areas...
