This is already fixed. Patches are in next.

There were 3 buggy user of this API.
 - 1 patch was merged a few days ago in mainline
 - 2 patches are in next, the maintainer decided to wait for the next merge window

commit 687d2de93b11 ("Bluetooth: btmtkuart: fix recv_buf() return value")
commit 7954bbcdd7ea ("Bluetooth: btnxpuart: fix recv_buf() return value")
commit c8820c92caf0 ("platform/surface: aggregator: fix recv_buf() return value")
