Subject: [ 015/167] [PATCH] uwb: fix error handling

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

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

From: Oliver Neukum <oliver@...kum.org>

commit 5bd7b419ef2eb4989b207753e088c3437159618a upstream.

Fatal errors such as a device disconnect must not trigger
error handling. The error returns must be checked.
