From cd385e9a2a2daa7e74003f930886e4c1cdf032f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2015 16:27:17 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] serial: 8250_early: Fix setup() error code If parsing failed to decode a valid uart addr, return -ENODEV instead of success. Although setup_earlycon() will detect the failure anyway (because the write() method has not been set), that behavior is not obvious and should not be relied on.
