sl->dev->base_addr holds the index into the pointer array of the slip devices.
This is a value >= 0.

The return values of tty_ldisc_open in drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c are checking
for errors with '< 0' but in some cases they check for '!= 0' which is
correctly addressed in this patch.

Looks reasonable to me.

Alan?

There is also a slip_open() in arch/um/drivers/slip_user.c which also returns
positive numbers (filedescriptors) having the same issue ... Jeff?

Once this patch is accepted, i would send a similar patch for
drivers/net/can/slcan.c too.

Regards,
Oliver
