[ Upstream commit efc4c35b741af973de90f6826bf35d3b3ac36bf1 ]
Fix inconsistent error handling for sscanf() return value check.
Implicit boolean conversion is used instead of explicit return
value checks. The code checks if (!sscanf(...)) which is incorrect
because:
1. sscanf returns the number of successfully parsed items
2. On success, it returns 1 (one item passed)
3. On failure, it returns 0 or EOF
4. The check 'if (!sscanf(...))' is wrong because it treats
success (1) as failure
All occurrences of sscanf() now uses explicit return value check.
With this behavior it returns '-EINVAL' when parsing fails (returns
0 or EOF), and continues when parsing succeeds (returns 1).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
