[PATCH 0/5] media: use int type to store negative error codes

The 'ret' variable usually is used to store returns from some functions,
which return either zero on success or negative error codes on failure.

Storing the negative error codes in unsigned type, doesn't cause an issue
at runtime but it's ugly as pants. Change "ret" from u8/u32/unsigned int
to int type. No effect on runtime.
