[SCSI] advansys: fix regression with request_firmware change
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
On newer kernels users of advansys module are reporting system hang when
trying to load it without firmware files present. After looking closely
at description on https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=53220, I think
this is related to commit "[SCSI] advansys: use request_firmware". The
problem is that after switch to request_firmware, asc_dvc->err_code
isn't being set when firmware files aren't found or loading fails.

err_code is used by the driver to judge if there was a fatal error or
not, as can be seen for example on advansys_board_found, which will only
return -ENODEV when err_code is set. Because err_code isn't being set
when request_firmware fails, this is a change of behaviour of the code
before request_firmware addition, making it continue to load and it
fails later as the firmware wasn't really loaded.
