The comment about return value of acpi_table_parse() is incorrect.
This patch fix it.

Since all callers only check if the function succeeded or not, this
patch simplifies the semantics by returning -errno for all failure
cases. This will also simply the comment.

As suggested by Toshi Kani<toshi.kani@xxxxxx>, also change the stub
in linux/acpi.h to return -ENODEV.

Signed-off-by: Tang Chen<tangchen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Queued up for 3.14 (but please use the e-mail address from MAINTAINERS next
time) with a modified subject.  Thanks!

OK, will use the email address from MAINTAINERS next time.

Thanks.
