Subject: Re: [PATCH] char: xillybus: use devm_add_action_or_reset

Thanks,

I like the direction, however both xilly_map_single_* functions turn out 
ending with

     if (rc)
         return rc;

     return 0;

Which is equivalent to just "return rc". Or maybe return the value of 
the devm_add_action_or_reset() call directly, and remove the "rc" 
variable? I don't know which one is better coding style.

Could you please take care of that and resubmit? Just want to save 
ourselves another patch that fixes this.

Regards,
    Eli
