There seems to be some confusion here which functions return positive numbers and which return negative error codes. copy_to_user() returns the number of bytes remaining to be copied but we want to return -EFAULT. The rest is just clean up. get_user() actually returns zero on success and -EFAULT on error so we can preserve the error code. The timeout_to_regval() function returns -EINVAL on failure, but we can propogate that back instead of hardcoding -EINVAL ourselves.
