From 9870ef5c584e2ec7a5e9614e6b29fcc06d8bc139 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chunyan Zhang Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2016 09:47:11 -0700 Subject: coresight: stm: return error code instead of zero in .packet() In STM framework driver, the trace data writing loop would keep running until it received a negative return value or the whole trace packet has been written to STM device. So if the .packet() of STM device always returns zero since the device is not enabled or the parameter isn't supported, STM framework driver will stall into a dead loop. Returning -EACCES (Permission denied) in .packet() if the device is disabled makes more sense, and this is the same for returning -EINVAL if the channel passed into is not supported.
