This patch looks much better, but I guess you don't want to be using 'err' in the above call as it will still be set to whatever xenbus_scanf() returned. Probably neatest to just leave the "err = -EINVAL" and "return err" alone.

Same here. Set err to -EINVAL above the call to xenbus_dev_fatal() and return it below...
