From b63390ac7dfe572765c8f7a0914ee955b772860c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Mon, 3 May 2021 13:57:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "media: dvb: Add check on sp8870_readreg" [ Upstream commit 47e4ff06fa7f5ba4860543a2913bbd0c164640aa ] This reverts commit 467a37fba93f2b4fe3ab597ff6a517b22b566882. Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were correct or not. Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons below, so it must be reverted. It will be fixed up "correctly" in a later kernel change. This commit is not properly checking for an error at all, so if a read succeeds from this device, it will error out.
