[PATCH] Remove __must_check for device_for_each_child()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Eliminate more __must_check madness.

The return code from device_for_each_child() depends on the values
which the helper function returns.  If the helper function always
returns zero, it's utterly pointless to check the return code from
device_for_each_child().

The only code which knows if the return value should be checked is
the caller itself, so forcing the return code to always be checked
is silly.  Hence, remove the __must_check annotation.
