I don't see anything wrong with the WARN here, it's the user/driver
calling it completely incorrectly.

I also don't really think this is a *fix*, if you used the API
incorrectly you can't necessarily expect a correct return value, I
guess, but anyway it shouldn't happen in the first place.

I'm happy to take the return value change (only) as a cleanup, if you
wish to resend that.
