[065/289] viafb: fix i2c_transfer error handling

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Dec 07 2010 - 20:49:42 EST


2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Florian Tobias Schandinat <FlorianSchandinat@xxxxxx>

commit 85c5702ac046b14713f776d59768252d8ed8018f upstream.

i2c_transfer returns negative errno on error and number of messages
processed on success. Just returning this value would give a poor
interface as it is not obvious that you must compare with 2 after reading
1 or n bytes and with 1 after writing 1 byte to determine if it was
successful. To avoid this error prone interface convert the error code
of a successful read/write to zero and all other non-negative values to
an negative error code.
This fixes a regression introduced by
via: Rationalize vt1636 detection
which resulted in no longer detecting a VT1636 chip and therefore has
broken the output in configurations which contain this chip.
