3.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Damian Hobson-Garcia <[email protected]> commit 5ed0505c713805f89473cdc0bbfb5110dfd840cb upstream. Until recently uio_get_minor() returned 0 for success and a negative value on failure. This became non-negative for suceess and negative for failure. Restore the original return value spec so that we can successfully initialize UIO devices with a non-zero minor device number. Signed-off-by: Damian Hobson-Garcia <[email protected]> Cc: "Hans J.
