In get_cpufv the return value of get_acpi is stored in the cpufv struct. Right before this value is checked for errors, it is and'ed with 0xff. This means c->cur can never be less than zero. Besides that, the actual error value is ignored. c->num is also and'ed with 0xff, which means we can ignore values below zero. Check the result of get_acpi() right away. While at it, propagate the error if we got one.
