From 96e324024b421b3753eb142d5d92fbe4ac5e7519 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Waldemar Rymarkiewicz Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2012 08:59:10 +0200 Subject: NFC: xmit from hci ops must return 0 or negative xmit callback provided by a driver encapsulates upper layers data and sends it to the hardware. So, HCI does not know the exact amount of data being sent and thus can't handle partially sent frames properly. Therefore, the driver must return 0 for completely sent frame or negative for failure.
