Subject: [PATCH 3.16 273/305] bnx2fc: fix an error code in _bnx2fc_create()

3.16.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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

commit 2043e1fd09c1896bb03a6e25b64baa84a30879c9 upstream.

We should be returning an error code here instead of success.  Either
-ENODEV or -ENOMEM would work.  There is also a failure message in
printk().
