Subject[PATCH] staging: r8188eu: handle rtw_init_netdev_name() failure appropriately
Date
rtw_init_netdev_name() calls dev_alloc_name() which allocates the name
for the device as per the given name format.
It returns a negative err code if the format is invalid. Currently the
name format is specified by the module parameter "ifname".
Warn the user if "ifname" is invalid.
