Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Input: serio_raw - return error code instead of written on error

Even if an error occurs and error code is set, serio_raw_write() returns
the amount of bytes written anyway.

If this behavior is actually desirable, serio_raw_write() should not
even bother to set the error code because it is not intended to be
returned to the caller.
