Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix not checking error on
hci_cmd_sync_cancel_sync

hci_cmd_sync_cancel_sync shall check the error passed to it since it will be propagated using req_result which is __u32 it needs to be properly set to a positive value if it was passed as negative othertise IS_ERR will not trigger as -(errno) would be converted to a positive value.

TWIMC: there is nothing that needs to be done here, that patch is already in the 6.{1,6,7,8}-stable trees.

I had asked last week to pick it up early because it caused trouble for multiple people; but apparently the commit-id changed before it was mainlined, which I guess is among the reasons why this happened. Sorry for that.

Ciao, Thorsten

Ah, I should have caught that, sorry for the noise.
