[ Upstream commit002752af7b] Some of the fwnode APIs might return an error pointer instead of NULL or valid fwnode handle. The result of such API call may be considered optional and hence the test for it is usually done in a form of fwnode = fwnode_find_reference(...); if (IS_ERR(fwnode)) ...error handling... Nevertheless the resulting fwnode may have bumped the reference count and hence caller of the above API is obliged to call fwnode_handle_put(). Since fwnode may be not valid either as NULL or error pointer the check has to be performed there. This approach uglifies the code and adds a point of making a mistake, i.e. forgetting about error point case. To prevent this, allow an error pointer to be passed to the fwnode APIs.

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.
