[PATCH 2/2] ASoC: codecs: ntp8835: Fix hw_params return values

From: phucduc . bui

Date: Thu Oct 22 2026 - 06:29:53 EST


From: bui duc phuc <phucduc.bui@xxxxxxxxx>

snd_soc_component_update_bits() returns 1 when the register is
updated successfully. Treating this as an error causes
ntp8835_hw_params() to return early with a positive value, skipping
the remaining configuration.

ASoC expects .hw_params() to return 0 on success to mark the
operation as completed.

Check for negative errors and return 0 on success.

Fixes: dc9004ea273a ("ASoC: codecs: Add NeoFidelity NTP8835 codec")
