[PATCH 1/9] target/ppc/kvm.c: do not return -1 on uint64_t return


From: Daniel Henrique Barboza
Subject: [PATCH 1/9] target/ppc/kvm.c: do not return -1 on uint64_t return
Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2022 16:42:41 -0300

kvmppc_read_int_dt() and kvmppc_read_int_cpu_dt() return an uint64_t,
while returning -1 when an error occurs. kvmppc_read_int_cpu_dt() claims
that it will return 0 if anything wrong happens, but it's returning -1
if kmvppc_find_cpu_dt() fails.

The elephant in the room is that returning -1 while claiming that the
return is uint64_t, results in 18446744073709551615 for the callers.
This reason alone is enough to not return -1 under these circunstances.

We'll still have the problem of having to deal with a '0' return that
might, or might not be, an error. We'll make this distintion clear in
the next patches.
