I agree.
But, if extcon_register_interest() return directly 'obj-cable_index' value
when extcon_find_cable_index() return -EINVAL, it would spoil readability
of extcon_register_interest() function. So, I think we can make it as
following
patch a little better.

---
diff --git a/drivers/extcon/extcon-class.c b/drivers/extcon/extcon-class.c
index 936580b..078e6a5 100644
--- a/drivers/extcon/extcon-class.c
+++ b/drivers/extcon/extcon-class.c
@@ -468,7 +468,7 @@ int extcon_register_interest(struct
extcon_specific_cable_nb *obj,

obj->cable_index = extcon_find_cable_index(obj->edev, cable_name);
if (obj->cable_index < 0)
- return -ENODEV;
+ return -EINVAL;

obj->user_nb = nb;


Thanks,
Chanwoo Choi
