The START_SP_W_RETRIES macro previously returned a positive EINVAL code
when chip generation or login generation mismatches were detected,
potentially leading to improper error handling in caller functions and
creating security risks if the error state was misinterpreted.
This patch updates the macro to return -EINVAL, aligning with kernel
error handling conventions and mitigating unintended behavior in
error handling.
