From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The check for ret < 0 is always false because ret is a (unsigned) size_t
and not a (signed) ssize_t, hence simple_write_to_buffer failures are
never detected. Fix this by making ret a ssize_t
Addresses-Coverity: ("Unsigned compared against 0")
Fixes: 8074a79fad2e ("platform/x86: intel_pmc_core: Add option to set/clear LPM mode")
