A recent change interprets the return code of dma_init_coherent_memory
as an error value, but it is instead a boolean, where 'true' indicates
success. This leads causes the caller to always do the wrong thing,
and also triggers a compile-time warning about it:
drivers/base/dma-coherent.c: In function 'dma_declare_coherent_memory':
drivers/base/dma-coherent.c:99:15: error: 'mem' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
I ended up changing the code a little more, to give use the usual
error handling, as this seemed the best way to fix up the warning
and make the code look reasonable at the same time.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
