Subject: [PATCH 3.16 097/132] backlight: lm3630a: Return 0 on success in
 update_status functions

3.16.74-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Brian Masney <masneyb@...tation.org>

commit d3f48ec0954c6aac736ab21c34a35d7554409112 upstream.

lm3630a_bank_a_update_status() and lm3630a_bank_b_update_status()
both return the brightness value if the brightness was successfully
updated. Writing to these attributes via sysfs would cause a 'Bad
address' error to be returned. These functions should return 0 on
success, so let's change it to correct that error.
