4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
[ Upstream commit 10628e3ecf544fa2e4e24f8e112d95c37884dc98 ]
This function is supposed to return zero on success or negative error codes on error. Unfortunately, there is a bug so it sometimes returns non-zero, positive numbers on success.
I noticed this bug during review and I can't test it. It does appear that the return is sometimes propogated back to _regmap_read() where all non-zero returns are treated as failure so this may affect run time.
