The change is based on the issue found by Kangjie Lu <kjlu@umn.edu> where we not checking the return value of a register read/write which could result in a NULL pointer dereference if the read/write fails. Since we are only trying to disable the far-end loopback, if the read and write of register fails, we do not want to bail out of the function. We just want to log that it failed to disable and continue on.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
