From d5d790ba1558dbb8d179054f514476e2ee970b8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bhanu Seshu Kumar Valluri Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2025 11:00:09 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] net: usb: lan78xx: Fix lost EEPROM write timeout error(-ETIMEDOUT) in lan78xx_write_raw_eeprom The function lan78xx_write_raw_eeprom failed to properly propagate EEPROM write timeout errors (-ETIMEDOUT). In the timeout fallthrough path, it first attempted to restore the pin configuration for LED outputs and then returned only the status of that restore operation, discarding the original timeout error saved in ret. As a result, callers could mistakenly treat EEPROM write operation as successful even though the EEPROM write had actually timed out with no or partial data write. To fix this, handle errors in restoring the LED pin configuration separately. If the restore succeeds, return any prior EEPROM write timeout error saved in ret to the caller.
