[PATCH] gpio: pca953x: do not ignore i2c errors

From: Nikita Yushchenko
Date: Thu Sep 23 2021 - 13:23:01 EST


From: Andrey Gusakov <andrey.gusakov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Per gpio_chip interface, error shall be proparated to the caller.

Attempt to silent diagnostics by returning zero (as written in the
comment) is plain wrong, because the zero return can be interpreted by
the caller as the gpio value.
