Subject: [PATCH review for 4.4 22/24] mei: return error on notification
 request to a disconnected client

From: Alexander Usyskin <alexander.usyskin@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit 7c47d2ca0feca767479329da23523ed798acb854 ]

Request for a notification from a disconnected client will be ignored
silently by the FW but the caller should know that the operation hasn't
succeeded.
