FromInsu Yun <wuninsu@gmail.com>

Subject[PATCH] usnic: corretly check failed allocation
Message-ID<qjTzK-3md-61@gated-at.bofh.it>
Since ib_alloc_device returns allocated memory address, not error, 
it should be checked as IS_NULL, not IS_ERR_OR_NULL.

There's a typo in the subject ("corretly"-->"correctly").

Out of curiosity, what led you to spot this?  General code inspection or did this come out of some tool?

I think this can become:

return ERR_PTR(-EFAULT);

This PTR_ERR and message make less sense now.

I would write it as:

        usnic_err("Failed to alloc ufdev for %s\n", pci_name(dev));
