[PATCH 2/2] Input: serio_raw - return error code instead of written on error

From: Che-Liang Chiou
Date: Fri Jan 06 2012 - 06:03:41 EST


Even if an error occurs and error code is set, serio_raw_write() returns
the amount of bytes written anyway.

If this behavior is actually desirable, serio_raw_write() should not
even bother to set the error code because it is not intended to be
returned to the caller.
