Subject: Re: [RESEND PATCH 1/2] fpga: dfl: pci: reduce the scope of variable
'ret'
Ok, i take your point on the api.
However I still feel that this change should be improved so the return is not defined inside a block.
I think this could be done better with
int ret = num_vfs;
...
return ret;
There is no consistency on this check with the other drivers' sriov_configure.
I do not feel strongly about this change, your original change will work. So you may add.
