commiteb50963868upstream. ice_init_link() can return an error status from ice_update_link_info() or ice_init_phy_user_cfg(), causing probe to fail. An incorrect NVM update procedure can result in link/PHY errors, and the recommended resolution is to update the NVM using the correct procedure. If the driver fails probe due to link errors, the user cannot update the NVM to recover. The link/PHY errors logged are non-fatal: they are already annotated as 'not a fatal error if this fails'. Since none of the errors inside ice_init_link() should prevent probe from completing, convert it to void and remove the error check in the caller. All failures are already logged; callers have no meaningful recovery path for link init errors.

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.
