[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: tlv320aic31xx: Do not ignore errors in aic31xx_device_init()

[Peter Ujfalusi]

We need to return the error codes from aic31xx_device_init() and return
from the i2c_probe with the error code.
We will have kernel panic (NULL pointer dereference) in
regulator_register_notifier() in case the devm_regulator_bulk_get() fails
(with -EPROBE_DEFER for example).

Mark,

Would it be possible to get this patch into 3.16?

Thanks,
Peter
