From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" mcgrof@kernel.org Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2016 03:10:35 -0800 Subject: selftests: firmware: send expected errors to /dev/null
From: Luis R. Rodriguez mcgrof@kernel.org
commit 880444e214cfd293a2e8cc4bd3505f7ffa6ce33a upstream.
Error that we expect should not be spilled to stdout.
Without this we get:
./fw_filesystem.sh: line 58: printf: write error: Invalid argument ./fw_filesystem.sh: line 63: printf: write error: No such device ./fw_filesystem.sh: line 69: echo: write error: No such file or directory ./fw_filesystem.sh: filesystem loading works ./fw_filesystem.sh: async filesystem loading works
With it:
./fw_filesystem.sh: filesystem loading works ./fw_filesystem.sh: async filesystem loading works
