This is a preparation for making more use of dev_err_probe(). The idea is that s3c2410_get_wdt_drv_data() (as it's called only by .probe()) can make effective use of dev_err_probe() only if it returns an int. For that the assignment to wdt->drv_data has to happen in the function. The caller can then just pass on the return value in the error case. This seems to be nicer for the compiler: bloatometer reports for an ARCH=arm s3c6400_defconfig build: add/remove: 1/1 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 4/-64 (-60) Function old new delta __initcall__kmod_s3c2410_wdt__209_821_s3c2410wdt_driver_init6 - 4 +4 __initcall__kmod_s3c2410_wdt__209_819_s3c2410wdt_driver_init6 4 - -4 s3c2410wdt_probe 1332 1272 -60 There is no semantical change. (Just one minor difference: Before this patch wdt->drv_data was always assigned, now that only happens in the non-error case. That doesn't matter however as *wdt is freed in the error case.)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
