Subject: Coverity: tc358746_apply_pll_config(): Control flow issues

Hello!

This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by
Coverity from a scan of next-20221110 as part of the linux-next scan project:
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan

You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified
lines of code (noted below) that were touched by commits:

  Thu Oct 27 14:48:40 2022 +0300
    80a21da36051 ("media: tc358746: add Toshiba TC358746 Parallel to CSI-2 bridge driver")

Coverity reported the following:

*** CID 1527252:  Control flow issues  (DEADCODE)
drivers/media/i2c/tc358746.c:411 in tc358746_apply_pll_config()
405     		return err;
406
407     	val = PLL_FRS(ilog2(post)) | RESETB | PLL_EN;
408     	mask = PLL_FRS_MASK | RESETB | PLL_EN;
409     	tc358746_update_bits(tc358746, PLLCTL1_REG, mask, val);
410     	if (err)
vvv     CID 1527252:  Control flow issues  (DEADCODE)
vvv     Execution cannot reach this statement: "return err;".

413     	fsleep(1000);
414
415     	return tc358746_set_bits(tc358746, PLLCTL1_REG, CKEN);
416     }

If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as
such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make
sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please
include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):
