[ Upstream commit 85d2b0aa17 ]
The sysfs_create_link() return code is marked as __must_check, but the
module_add_driver() function tries hard to not care, by assigning the
return code to a variable. When building with 'make W=1', gcc still
warns because this variable is only assigned but not used:
drivers/base/module.c: In function 'module_add_driver':
drivers/base/module.c:36:6: warning: variable 'no_warn' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
Rework the code to properly unwind and return the error code to the
caller. My reading of the original code was that it tries to
not fail when the links already exist, so keep ignoring -EEXIST
errors.
Fixes: e17e0f51ae ("Driver core: show drivers in /sys/module/")
