Existing DPCD access functions return an error code or the number of
bytes being read / write in case of partial access. However a lot of
drivers either (incorrectly) ignore partial access or mishandle error
codes. In other cases this results in a boilerplate code which compares
returned value with the size.
As suggested by Jani implement new set of DPCD access helpers, which
ignore partial access, always return 0 or an error code. Reimplement
existing helpers using the new functions to ensure backwards
compatibility.
This series targets only the DRM helpers code. If the approach is found
to be acceptable, each of the drivers should be converted on its own.
