Ok, I will do the change when adding the acked-by tag. [ ... ]
The code looks good to me. Acked-by: Marc Gonzalez <marc_gonza...@sigmadesigns.com> Could you merge, on top of these, the patch we discussed a few weeks ago for changing ret to err? (I will attach the patch to this message.)
I don't really mind to convert 'ret' to 'err' if it is your preference but can it wait after the changes I initiated ? Much more patches will come to consolidate the init functions.
