+Subject: [PATCH] net: pse-pd: fix sign on -ENOENT check in of_load_pse_pis()
+
+of_count_phandle_with_args() returns the count on success and a negative
+errno on failure, including -ENOENT when the "pairsets" property is
+absent. The existing comparison in of_load_pse_pis() checks against
+ENOENT (positive 2) instead of -ENOENT, so the branch is taken for any
+error return: legitimate DTs that omit "pairsets" trigger a spurious
+"wrong number of pairsets" error and probe fails with -EINVAL.
+
+Compare against -ENOENT so a missing "pairsets" property is correctly
+treated as "this PI has no pairsets, continue".
