Subject: Re: [PATCH] wireless: rtlwifi: fix incorrect error codes in rtl_debugfs_set_write_rfreg()

Dear Simon,

Thanks for the advice and review. I have sent the second version of the patch.

Besides, rtl_debugfs_set_write_reg also suffers from the incorrect
error code problem. I also sent v2 of the corresponding patch. Hope
there is no confusion between these two patches.

Best,
Wei
