[PATCH v3 -next 06/11] serial: 8250_early: Fix setup() error code

From: Peter Hurley
Date: Mon Mar 09 2015 - 16:29:39 EST


If parsing failed to decode a valid uart addr, return -ENODEV instead
of success. Although setup_earlycon() will detect the failure anyway
(because the write() method has not been set), that behavior is not
obvious and should not be relied on.
