Let's look at the code:

case 2:
s3c_gpio_cfgpin(S3C64XX_GPC(4), S3C_GPIO_SFN(5));
s3c_gpio_cfgpin(S3C64XX_GPC(5), S3C_GPIO_SFN(5));
s3c_gpio_cfgpin(S3C64XX_GPC(7), S3C_GPIO_SFN(5));
s3c_gpio_cfgpin_range(S3C64XX_GPH(6), 4, S3C_GPIO_SFN(5));
return 0;
default:
printk(KERN_DEBUG "Invalid I2S Controller number: %d\n",
pdev->id);
return -EINVAL;
}

s3c_gpio_cfgpin_range(base, 5, S3C_GPIO_SFN(3));

return 0;

and you're changing it to:

case 2:
s3c_gpio_cfgpin(S3C64XX_GPC(4), S3C_GPIO_SFN(5));
s3c_gpio_cfgpin(S3C64XX_GPC(5), S3C_GPIO_SFN(5));
s3c_gpio_cfgpin(S3C64XX_GPC(7), S3C_GPIO_SFN(5));
s3c_gpio_cfgpin_range(S3C64XX_GPH(6), 4, S3C_GPIO_SFN(5));
return 0;
default:
printk(KERN_DEBUG "Invalid I2S Controller number: %d\n",
pdev->id);
return -EINVAL;
}

ret = s3c_gpio_cfgpin_range(base, 5, S3C_GPIO_SFN(3));

return ret;

What about all the previous calls to s3c_gpio_cfgpin_range() and
s3c_gpio_cfgpin() ? Can't they fail as well?

However, _maybe_ the original authors idea was "I don't care if these
calls fail, it's safer to continue if they do" and your changes actually
result in breakage.

Maybe the better solution would be to add WARN_ON() around each of these.

There's a lot of questions here, none of them are a trivial case of "lets
generate a patch to just do some random change to the code and hope it's
right."
