Message-ID: <review-patch1-20260517172136.3321-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)

Patch Review
**Verdict: Looks good.**
The patch removes the intermediate `ret` assignment:
```c
- ret = i2c_check_functionality(client->adapter,
- I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BYTE_DATA);
- if (!ret) {
+ if (!i2c_check_functionality(client->adapter, I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BYTE_DATA)) {
```
This is a clean improvement:
1. `i2c_check_functionality()` returns a boolean (true if the adapter supports the requested functionality), not an error code. Storing it in `ret` and testing `!ret` follows an error-code pattern that doesn't match the actual semantics.
2. The inlined form reads more naturally as a boolean predicate: "if the adapter doesn't support this functionality, bail out."
3. `ret` is declared at the top of the function and is still used later for actual error-code returns, so removing this one assignment doesn't leave a dangling unused variable.
One minor note: the commit message says "the function returns a boolean status rather than an error code," which is accurate. The old code wasn't *buggy* — `!ret` on a boolean works the same as `!ret` on a zero/nonzero — but the refactoring improves readability.
**Reviewed-by: appropriate.**
