[PATCH 21/25] fujitsu-laptop: fix error return code

[Julia Lawall]

From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx>

These functions mix the use of result and error.  In acpi_fujitsu_add,
result does not seem useful; it would seem reasonable to propagate the
return value of acpi_bus_update_power in an error case.  On the other hand,
in the case of acpi_fujitsu_hotkey_add, there is an initialization of
result that can lead to what looks like a failure case, but that does not
abort the function.  The variable result is kept for this case.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
(
if@p1 (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\))
 { ... return ret; }
|
ret@p1 = 0
)
... when != ret = e1
    when != &ret
*if(...)
{
  ... when != ret = e2
      when forall
 return ret;
}

// </smpl>

Not tested.  Not sure to be doing the right thing with result in the second
case.
