[PATCH v2] usb: core: handle port status errors in disable_show()
From: Karl Mehltretter
Date: Mon Aug 10 2026 - 19:04:54 EST
usb_hub_port_status() leaves its output arguments untouched when the
status request fails. disable_show() nevertheless uses portstatus, so a
sysfs read may report the wrong port state instead of an error.
Propagate the status request error.
Fixes: f061f43d7418c ("usb: hub: port: add sysfs entry to switch port power")
