From 1a10d67ca426f6f5a76fbb81270d4ad1b44d3950 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Wahren Date: Sun, 28 Jan 2024 21:10:46 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] qca_spi: Improve SPI thread creation Directly storing the result of kthread_run within the private driver data makes it harder to identify if the pointer has a running thread or not. So better use a local variable for the result check and we don't have to care about error pointer in the rest of the code. Signed-off-by: Stefan Wahren Signed-off-by: David S.
