[PATCH v3] dmi: Make dmi_walk and dmi_walk_early return real error codes

Show all headers | View raw

Currently they return -1 on error, which will confuse callers if
they try to interpret it as a normal negative error code.

Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>
---

Changes from v3:
 - Split out from the series it was in.
 - Use -ENXIO for "there's no DMI".
 - Also fix docs and !DMI case.

Changes from v2:
 - Total rewrite.
