[PATCH] docs: i2c: Fix return value of i2c_smbus_xxx functions

From: Lei YU
Date: Tue Nov 19 2019 - 03:56:51 EST


In i2c/dev-interface.rst it said

> All these transactions return -1 on failure

But actually the i2c_smbus_xxx functions return negative error numbers
on failure, instead of -1.

Fix the document.
