From b74766a0a0feeef5c779709cc5d109451c0d5b17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sergei Shtylyov Date: Sun, 24 Apr 2016 20:25:23 +0300 Subject: phylib: don't return NULL from get_phy_device() Arnd Bergmann asked that get_phy_device() returns either NULL or the error value, not both on error. Do as he said, return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) instead of NULL when the PHY ID registers read as all ones.
