From 3d62c78a6eb9a7d67bace9622b66ad51e81c5f9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Fornero Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2017 16:34:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] iio: core: Return error for failed read_reg If an IIO device returns an error code for a read access via debugfs, it is currently ignored by the IIO core (other than emitting an error message). Instead, return this error code to user space, so upper layers can detect it correctly.
