rtems_set_errno_and_return_minus_one in driver not returning correct value

[Inderjit Singh]

Hi Chris,

I am pretty sure the driver is working fine yes. I had this issue for some time and ignored the error messages during development as I always get a negative value. Now the driver is working is as it should and I am enforcing the error to test this.

Regards,
Indy

Are you sure the driver is correctly installed and registered and
reaching your code ? Maybe some other part of the file system is
detecting an error and returning the error code you are seeing for some
other reason. I would add a print statement where you set the error code
to see if that code is being reached.
