Why did you split this into 12 commits? It is one logical change, and should be applied in a single clommit.

Ben, if you should accept this stuff, then please squash all these 12 patches into a single commit.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but don't see the point of changing all

return codes to the current state, when I recently mentioned that the current state is confusing. Things have been this way for some time, so there's no urgency to fix up all existing drivers. Hopefully tonight I'll get to the core changes, then we can fix up all drivers at once to a more 'final' state.

regards,
Ben
