[PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_uart: Fix false success return in hci_uart_setup()
From: Gongwei Li
Date: Thu Aug 20 2026 - 22:47:12 EST
From: Gongwei Li <ligongwei@xxxxxxxxxx>
When reading the local version information for vendor detection
fails, the error is only printed and 0 is returned, which masks the
setup failure from the HCI core.
Return PTR_ERR(skb) instead.
Fixes: fb2ce8d11f039 ("Bluetooth: hci_uart: Add support for vendor detection flag")
Fixes: 82f5169bf3d3b ("Bluetooth: hci_uart: add serdev driver support library")
