In particular the xpcs_soft_reset() and xpcs_do_config() functions currently return -1 if invalid auto-negotiation mode is specified. That value might be then passed to the generic kernel subsystems which require a standard kernel errno value. Even though the erroneous conditions are very specific (memory corruption or buggy driver implementation) using a hard-coded -1 literal doesn't seem correct anyway especially when it comes to passing it higher to the network subsystem or printing to the system log. Convert the hard-coded error values to -EINVAL then. Signed-off-by: Serge Semin <fancer.lancer@gmail.com> Tested-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
