Subject: platform/x86/intel/vsec: Return real error codes from registration path
X-Git-Tag: v7.1-rc1~71^2~80
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a6ce8bf3c993d8c2e8a6aeb2596429c101fe4462;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

platform/x86/intel/vsec: Return real error codes from registration path

Stop collapsing registration results into booleans. Make
intel_vsec_walk_header() return int and propagate the first non-zero error
from intel_vsec_register_device(). intel_vsec_register() now returns that
error directly and 0 on success.

This preserves success behavior while surfacing meaningful errors instead
of hiding them behind a bool/-ENODEV, which makes debugging and probe
ordering issues clearer.
