Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mfd: twl4030-power: do not allow negative or zero length script

The script length cannot be negative. If the length is zero, return
an error.

The patch eliminates the following compiler warning:

drivers/mfd/twl4030-power.c: In function 'twl4030_power_init':
drivers/mfd/twl4030-power.c:151: warning: 'err' may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/mfd/twl4030-power.c:151: note: 'err' was declared here
