Simplify c2h_evt_hdl function by removing majority of its code. The
function always returns _FAIL anyway, due to the wrapper function it
calls always returning _FAIL. For this reason, it is better to just
return _FAIL directly.

Leave the call to c2h_evt_read in place, as without it, event handling
semantics of the driver would be changed, despite nothing actually being
done with the event.

Hi, Phillip!


Do we really need to return _FAIL every time? The only one caller of c2h_evt_hdl() does not rely on it's return value. Shouldn't we make this function return void to simplify the code?


BTW, this function does nothing now, as I understand. It reads to local buffer and returns. I think, it can be removed



}
static void c2h_wk_callback(struct work_struct *work)





With regards,
