event API conformance testing with coccinelle spatches are being used to locate API usage inconsistencies this triggert with: ./drivers/gpu/drm/i2c/tda998x_drv.c:1062 incorrect check for negative return

The return of wait_event_timeout is always >= 0, thus the negative check was effectively being ignoring - as the timeout will be checked a few lines below the error condition being checked here seems to be wrong or this is simply dead code which would be my guess as the timeout condition check covers the wait-queue related failure condition.

Can't really determine what the right fix for this would be - someone that knows this driver would need to check - in any case the current code seems broken.

Patch was compile tested with x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_DRM_I2C_SIL164=m

Patch is against 4.1-rc7 (localversion-next is -next-20150610)
