I'm a bit hesitant to apply this. While the analysis is correct
max_chg_cur_reg is sourced from rk817_chg_cur_to_reg(). That has
has a 'u8' return value as function signature, but tries to return
-EINVAL. I think it makes sense to either fix this at the same
time or change the variable type to signed. Also please Cc the
driver author (done now).
