While looking at a compiler warning, I noticed the use of
IS_ERR_OR_NULL, which is generally a sign of a bad API design
and should be avoided.

In this driver, this is fairly easy, we can simply stop storing
error pointers in persistent structures, and change the one
function that might return either a NULL pointer or an error
code to consistently return error pointers when failing.

Fixes: e130291212df ("[media] media: Add i.MX media core driver")
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

I can't reproduce the original warning any more, but this
patch still makes sense by itself.

Hi Arnd,

thank you for the cleanup. I see two issues below:

This should be

instead.

... this changes behaviour:

    imx-media: imx_media_of_parse failed with -17
    imx-media: probe of capture-subsystem failed with error -17

We must continue to return NULL here if imxsd == -EEXIST:

-		return imxsd;
+		return PTR_ERR(imxsd) == -EEXIST ? NULL : imxsd;

or change the code where of_parse_subdev is called (from
imx_media_of_parse, and recursively from of_parse_subdev) to not handle
the -EEXIST return value as an error.

With those fixed,

Fixed in v2 now.

I thought about it some more and tried to find a better solution for this
function, which is now a bit different, so I did not add your tags.

Can you have another look at v2? This time, of_parse_subdev separates
the return code from the pointer, which seems less confusing in a function
like that. There are in fact two cases where we return NULL and it's
not clear if the caller should treat that as success or failure. I've left
the current behavior the same but added comments there.
