Subject: staging: comedi: drivers: fix return value of comedi_load_firmware()
From: H Hartley Sweeten <hsweeten@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit c6236c0ce39c809c336ca929f68cf8ad02cf94e0 upstream.
Some of the callback functions that upload the firmware in the comedi
drivers return a positive value indicating the number of bytes sent
to the device. Detect this condition and just return '0' to indicate
a successful upload.
