tty_read() is supposed to return ssize_t. It takes the return value from iterate_tty_read(). That currently returns int. On the top of that, iterate_tty_write() already returns ssize_t. So switch iterate_tty_read() to ssize_t too, so that all three are consistent. This means 'i' in tty_read() changes its type too. And while changing that, rename this generic 'i' to more dedicated 'ret'.
