On success i2c_master_send() returns the number of bytes written. The
call from iio_write_channel_info(), however, expects the return value to
be zero on success.
This bug causes incorrect consumption of the sysfs buffer in
iio_write_channel_info(). When writing more than two characters to
out_voltage0_raw, the ad5446 write handler is called multiple times
causing unexpected behavior.

v1->v2: Check against expected result, otherwise -EIO. Add Fixes tag.
A similar bug was fixed for ad5064.c in 2015 - commit 03fe472ef33b
("iio:ad5064: Make sure ad5064_i2c_write() returns 0 on success").
