[PATCH 1/3] Return ENODEV instead of EINVAL when trying to open ACM device.

From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo
Date: Wed Jun 24 2009 - 17:33:49 EST


This is required, otherwise a user will get a EINVAL while opening a
non-existing device, instead of ENODEV.

This is what I get with this patch applied now instead of an "Invalid
argument".

cascardo@vespa:~$ cat /dev/ttyACM0
cat: /dev/ttyACM0: No such device
cascardo@vespa:~$
