Hi Yong, would you or someone you know be able to confirm whether
this "return 0" is still a must or not?
Considering that it's an old 32-bit platform for MTK, if it would
take time to do so, I'd like to drop the change in MTK driver and
note in commit log for you or other MTK folks to change in future.
Thanks
Nic
