[PATCH] usb: core: handle port status errors in disable_show()
From: Karl Mehltretter
Date: Sat Aug 08 2026 - 09:17:33 EST
usb_hub_port_status() leaves its output arguments untouched when the
status request fails. disable_show() nevertheless uses portstatus, so a
sysfs read may report the wrong port state instead of an error.
Propagate the status request error.
