Well, with this argument, we can add this (and many other checks) to many more places in the code... I just wanted to point out that most probably ret == -ENOSYS will never happen since the #ifdef is added, but no problem from my side, it does not hurt to have 4 more lines just in case, right? Thanks for the patch and the explanation! You have my ack already... -- Regards, Igor. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
