Subject: [12/48] ALSA: hda - Return the error from get_wcaps_type() for invalid NIDs

3.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit 3a90274de3548ebb2aabfbf488cea8e275a73dc6 upstream.

When an invalid NID is given, get_wcaps() returns zero as the error,
but get_wcaps_type() takes it as the normal value and returns a bogus
AC_WID_AUD_OUT value.  This confuses the parser.

With this patch, get_wcaps_type() returns -1 when value 0 is given,
i.e. an invalid NID is passed to get_wcaps().
