Subject: [PATCH] backlight: lcd: return ENXIO when ops functions cannot be
 called

Previously, when ops functions cannot be called,
lcd_show_contrast() and lcd_store_contrast() returned 0,
instead of ENXIO.

Thus, in this case, a local variable 'rc' for return value
should be initialized as ENXIO, after kstrtoul() is called.
