Hi, Lino,
There is no special reason to map different errors to -EIO. In the
original source code, err is set to -EIO on most error paths. I copied
that. I guess it has no difference with the error value provided by the
called functions in the view of callers of typhoon_init_one().
Thanks!
Best regards,
Pan
