Re: [PATCH] siox: Simplify error handling via dev_err_probe()

Hello Thorsten,

your mail is whitespace damaged and cannot be applied directly. As you
used git-send-email this is probably a case for Eckelmann IT ...

Please test your patch using scripts/checkpatch and fix the issued
errors (or argument why you chose not to follow its recommendations).

Huh, I'm surprised. I did

on top of your patch and the binary size increased (using ARCH=arm and
gcc 7.3.1). So no objection from me to get rid of this idiom.

Another issue for your IT department: Tell them please to not append
latin1 encoded footers to mails that don't declare an encoding (and so
are implicitly ASCII only). I didn't check but I assume this will earn
you a few spam assassin points ...
