checkpatch: Check for illegal return codes
The only legal integer return is 0, anything else
following "return" should be -ERRCODE or a function.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/23/318
There's lots of "return -1;" statements in this patch - it's obscene
that this is used to indicate "some error occurred" in kernel space
rather than a real errno value - even when an existing function
(eg, request_irq) gave you an error code already.
Please note this for the future - and please review patches on this
point internally first.
