I really do not see any issue with returning a negative error which is the correct thing to do. The function pointer call returns 0 on success, non-zero on error as expected.
I do not see "prone-to-error" when it comes to backport.
As said, problem is returning 1 in infiniband and ethernet media that should be corrected.
