My error handling "cleanup" was totally wrong. Both the "err" and "ret" variables are required. The "err" variable holds the error codes for rv3029_eeprom_enter/exit() and the "ret" variable holds the error codes for if actual write fails. In my patch if the write failed, the function probably still returned success.

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.
