[PATCH 5/6] tty: serial: propagate uart_configure_port failure to uart_add_one_port

Wed Jul 8 23:25:17 PDT 2026


uart_configure_port() was declared void, so the uart_change_pm(ON)
failure introduced in the previous patch used a bare return that silently
dropped the error and allowed port registration to proceed regardless.

Update serial_core_add_one_port() to check the return value and return
immediately on failure. This propagates up through uart_add_one_port()
to the driver's probe function, allowing the driver to handle or report
the failure rather than silently registering a port that could not be
initialised.
