[PATCH v2] mfd: cros_ec_dev: Return number of bytes read with CROS_EC_DEV_IOCRDMEM

From: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

While ioctls normally return a negative error or 0 on success, this is not
the case for CROS_EC_DEV_IOCXCMD in the cros_ec driver, which returns the
number of bytes read instead. However, CROS_EC_DEV_IOCRDMEM in the same
driver does not return the number of byte read on success. This is both
inconsistent and problematic, since the amount of returned data can be
dynamic. Have it return the number of data bytes for consistency.

Hi,

This patch was send long time ago and never landed to mainline [1]. This
is a second attempt. Originally was made to apply on platform/chrome but
after the recent changes we did it should go now throught the MFD
subsystem. Without this patch userspace tools like ectool doesn't work
as expected.

Best regards,
Enric
