The driver is using -1 instead of the -ENOMEM defined macro to specify that a buffer allocation failed. Since the error number is propagated, the caller will get a -EPERM which is the wrong error condition.
Smatch tool warning: ad1848_init() warn: returning -1 instead of -ENOMEM is sloppy

The return value of ad1848_init is stored in hw_config->slots[0]. And in sound/oss/pss.c hw_config->slots[0] is checked like: if (hw_config->slots[0] != -1)
So, you just changed the functionality of the driver.
