The receive_buf callback is supposed to return the number of bytes processed and should specifically not return a negative errno. Due to missing sanity checks in the serdev tty-port controller, a driver not providing a receive_buf callback could cause the flush_to_ldisc() worker to spin in a tight loop when the tty buffer pointers are incremented with -EINVAL (-22). The missing sanity checks have now been added to the tty-port controller, but let's fix up the serdev-controller helper as well.
