Subject: [PATCH 5.15 080/667] scsi: megaraid: Fix error check return value of register_chrdev()
From: Lv Ruyi <lv.ruyi@....com.cn>
[ Upstream commit c5acd61dbb32b6bda0f3a354108f2b8dcb788985 ]
If major equals 0, register_chrdev() returns an error code when it fails.
This function dynamically allocates a major and returns its number on
success, so we should use "< 0" to check it instead of "!".
