From f8e3a68c05f0f09a0da947b9d447268d2d3f8780 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexandre Bounine Date: Tue, 2 Aug 2016 14:06:34 -0700 Subject: rapidio: fix return value description for dma_prep functions Update return value description for rio_dma_prep_... functions to include error-valued pointer that can be returned by HW mport device drivers. Return values from these functions must be checked using IS_ERR_OR_NULL macro. This patch is applicable to kernel versions starting from v4.6-rc1.
