[PATCH v2] dax: fix dax_core_init error return code
From: jianyungao89
Date: Mon Oct 12 2026 - 13:23:57 EST
From: Jianyun Gao <jianyungao89@xxxxxxxxx>
dax_core_init() mistakenly returns 0 on error paths. Change the
error return to use rc so the actual error code is propagated
to the caller.
Fixes: 9567da0b408a ("device-dax: Introduce bus + driver model")
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v2:
- Drop unnecessary goto label, keep direct return for dax_fs_init() error
- Add Fixes tag and Cc stable
