Subject: [ 077/108] [media] lgdt330x: fix signedness error in i2c_read_demod_bytes()

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

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

From: Xi Wang <xi.wang@...il.com>

commit 34817174fca0c5512c2d5b6ea0fc37a0337ce1d8 upstream.

The error handling in lgdt3303_read_status() and lgdt330x_read_ucblocks()
doesn't work, because i2c_read_demod_bytes() returns a u8 and (err < 0)
is always false.

        err = i2c_read_demod_bytes(state, 0x58, buf, 1);
        if (err < 0)
                return err;

Change the return type of i2c_read_demod_bytes() to int.  Also change
the return value on error to -EIO to make (err < 0) work.
