drivers/rapidio/devices/tsi721.c: fix error return code
Author: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Convert a nonnegative error return code to a negative one, as returned elsewhere in the function. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // ( if@p1 (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\)) { ... return ret; } | ret@p1 = 0 ) ... …

drivers/rtc/rtc-coh901331.c: use clk_prepare_enable() and clk_disable_unprepare()
Author: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> clk_prepare_enable and clk_disable_unprepare combine clk_prepare and clk_enable, and clk_disable and clk_unprepare. They make the code more concise, and ensure that clk_unprepare is called when clk_enable fails. A simplified version of the semantic patch that introduces calls to these functions is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ expression e; @@ – clk_prepare(e); – …

drivers/rtc/rtc-spear.c: fix several error checks
Author: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de> There are several comparisons of a unsigned int to less than zero int spear RTC driver. Such a check will always be true. In all these cases a signed int is assigned to the unsigned variable, which is checked, before. So the right fix is to make the checked variable signed …

drivers/rtc/rtc-jz4740.c: fix IRQ error check
Author: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de> The irq field of the jz4740_irc struct is unsigned. Yet we assign the result of platform_get_irq() to it. platform_get_irq() may return a negative error code and the code checks for this condition by checking if ‘irq’ is less than zero. But since ‘irq’ is unsigned this test will always be false. …
