Subject: AW: [PATCH 1/2 v3] net: ethernet: ti: fix some return value check of
 cpsw_ale_create()

just a notice:

from my casual observation i noticed that most people expect
a function to return NULL on error (as seen here). So i would suggest
to return NULL and (if needed) the error code otherwise.

Betreff: [PATCH 1/2 v3] net: ethernet: ti: fix some return value check of cpsw_ale_create()

cpsw_ale_create() can return both NULL and PTR_ERR(), but all of
the caller only check NULL for error handling. This patch convert
it to only return PTR_ERR() in all error cases, and the caller using
IS_ERR() instead of NULL test.
