GOODIX_HID_PKG_LEN_SIZE defined as sizeof(u16) (type size_t). If the goodix_hid_check_ack_status() function times out and return -EINVAL then, because of type promotion, the negative error code is treated as a high positive value which is success. Fix this by adding an explicit check for negative error codes.
