[PATCH] staging: greybus: uart: return tty_alloc_driver() errors

From: Alfie Varghese

Date: Mon Jul 13 2026 - 13:12:33 EST


gb_tty_init() maps any tty_alloc_driver() failure to -ENOMEM. This
loses the real errno returned by the driver core and makes failures
harder to diagnose correctly.

Return PTR_ERR(gb_tty_driver) instead so callers receive the actual
failure reason while preserving the existing cleanup path.
