gb_tty_init() maps any tty_alloc_driver() failure to -ENOMEM. tty_alloc_driver() currently always returns -ENOMEM on failure, so this does not change behavior in practice. However, returning PTR_ERR(gb_tty_driver) is more correct and consistent with kernel conventions, preserving any future error codes the function might return.

No code changes. v2: updated commit message per Dan Carpenter's review to clarify that tty_alloc_driver() currently only returns -ENOMEM, making this a style fix rather than a behavioral change. --- drivers/staging/greybus/uart.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
