Subject: [PATCH v2] USB: serial: f81534: Detect errors from f81534_logic_to_phy_port()

With gcc 4.1.2:

    drivers/usb/serial/f81534.c: In function ‘f81534_port_probe’:
    drivers/usb/serial/f81534.c:1250: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type

f81534_logic_to_phy_port() may return a negative error value, which is
ignored by assigning it to u8 f81534_port_private.phy_num.

Use an intermediate variable of type int to fix this.
While at it, forward the actual error code instead of converting it to
-ENODEV, and drop the useless check for F81534_NUM_PORT, as the callee
always returns a valid port number in case of success.

Fixes: 0c9bd6004d258d46 ("USB: serial: add Fintek F81532/534 driver")
Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@...ux-m68k.org>

v2:
  - Drop useless check for F81534_NUM_PORT.
