When outputs strings to the decoding buffer with function snprintf(), SPE decoder needs to detects if any error returns from snprintf() and if so needs to directly bail out. If snprintf() returns success, it needs to update buffer pointer and reduce the buffer length so can continue to output the next string into the consequent memory space. This complex logics are spreading in the function arm_spe_pkt_desc() so there has many duplicate codes for handling error detecting, increment buffer pointer and decrement buffer size. To avoid the duplicate code, this patch introduces a new helper function arm_spe_pkt_out_string() which is used to wrap up the complex logics, and it's used by the caller arm_spe_pkt_desc(). This patch moves the variable 'blen' as the function's local variable so allows to remove the unnecessary braces and improve the readability. This patch simplifies the return value for arm_spe_pkt_desc(): '0' means success and other values mean an error has occurred. To realize this, it relies on arm_spe_pkt_out_string()'s parameter 'err', the 'err' is a cumulative value, returns its final value if printing buffer is called for one time or multiple times. Finally, the error is handled in a central place, rather than directly bailing out in switch-cases, it returns error at the end of arm_spe_pkt_desc(). This patch changes the caller arm_spe_dump() to respect the updated return value semantics of arm_spe_pkt_desc().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
