[PATCH 2/2] Staging: pi433: check error after kthread_run()

From: Joseph Wright
Date: Tue Jul 18 2017 - 23:00:52 EST


Error should be checked with IS_ERR after calling kthread_run()
instead of comparing the returned pointer to an int.

Found by sparse warning:

incompatible types for operation (<)
left side has type struct task_struct *tx_task_struct
right side has type int
