[PATCH v2] iio: pressure: hsc030pa: Improve i2c_transfer return value handling
From: Antoniu Miclaus
Date: Thu Jan 29 2026 - 13:16:10 EST
The i2c_transfer() function returns the number of messages
successfully transferred. The function sends 1 message but checks
for ret == 2, which can never be true.
In practice this has no impact since the caller checks ret < 0,
and the erroneous return value of 1 is not treated as an error.
Improve the return value handling to properly distinguish between
I2C errors and unexpected transfer counts.

v2:
- Changed subject from 'Fix' to 'Improve'
- Clarified that the bug has no practical impact
- Used explicit if/return pattern instead of ternary
- Dropped Fixes tag
