IMHO, both hunks make sense, as, on the first hunk, it is returning an error
condition.
Yet, -ENOMEM seems to be the wrong return code. -EINVAL is probably more
appropriate.
However, the patch is badly described. It is not about making the code cleaner,
but
about avoiding to run s_power if no platform data is found, and to avoid having
ret undefined. Eventually, it should be broken into two different patches, as
they
fix different things.
Please, when sending us patches, provide a proper description with "what"
information
at the first line, and why and how at the patch descriptions. Please, also
avoid to
have any line bigger than 74 characters, otherwise they'll look weird when
seeing the
patch history.
Thanks,
Mauro.
