Subject: [PATCH 4.4 02/27] ser_gigaset: return -ENOMEM on error instead of success

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>


[ Upstream commit 93a97c50cbf1c007caf12db5cc23e0d5b9c8473c ]

If we can't allocate the resources in gigaset_initdriver() then we
should return -ENOMEM instead of zero.
