The sg2044_spifmc_write() function uses 'ret' of unsigned type size_t to capture return values from sg2044_spifmc_wait_xfer_size() and sg2044_spifmc_wait_int(). Since these functions may return negative error codes, using an unsigned type prevents proper error detection, as size_t cannot represent negative values. Change 'ret' to type int so that negative values are handled correctly.
