commit 95369a73a9 upstream.
parse_arg() has three possible return values:
-EINVAL if sscanf(), in short, fails;
zero if "count" is zero; and
"count" in all other cases
But "count" will never be zero. See, parse_arg() is called by the
various store functions. And the callchain of these functions starts
with sysfs_kf_write(). And that function checks for a zero "count". So
we can stop checking for a zero "count", drop the "count" argument
entirely, and transform parse_arg() into a function that returns zero on
success or a negative error. That, in turn, allows to make those store
functions just return "count" on success. The net effect is that the
code becomes a bit easier to understand.
A nice side effect is that this GCC warning is silenced too:
drivers/platform/x86/eeepc-laptop.c: In function ‘store_sys_acpi’:
drivers/platform/x86/eeepc-laptop.c:279:10: warning: ‘value’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
int rv, value;
Which is, of course, the reason to have a look at parse_arg().
