Commit79f960e29c("platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Convert platform driver to use dev_groups") accidentally modified tpacpi_kbdlang_init() causing it to return -ENODEV instead of 0 on machines without kbdlang support (which are most of them). ibm_init() sees this -ENODEV as an error causing the entire module to not load, not good. Note that technically tpacpi_kbdlang_init() was already buggy before, it should have returned 1 instead of 0 if the feature is not present. Rather then fixing tpacpi_kbdlang_init() though, IMHO it is bettter to just make ibm_init() treat -ENODEV as 1 to fix the issue; and then in a followup commit also change all the existing "return 1"s from ibm_init_struct.init() callbacks to "return -ENODEV" as -ENODEV clearly states what it going on where as a magic return of "1" requires a deep dive into the code to figure out what is going on. This will also allow removing some extra ifs to translate -ENODEV to return 1 in a couple of init() callbacks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
