name_to_dev_t has a very misleading name, that doesn't make clear it should only be used by the early init code, and also has a bad calling convention that doesn't allow returning different kinds of errors. Rename it to early_lookup_bdev to make the use case clear, and return an errno, where -EINVAL means the string could not be parsed, and -ENODEV means it the string was valid, but there was no device found for it. Also stub out the whole call for !CONFIG_BLOCK as all the non-block root cases are always covered in the caller.

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.
