Subject: [PATCH 7/7] parport_sunbpp: fix error return code

From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@...6.fr>

Return a negative error code on failure.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
identifier ret; expression e1,e2;
@@
(
if (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\))
 { ... return ret; }
|
ret = 0
)
... when != ret = e1
    when != &ret
*if(...)
{
  ... when != ret = e2
      when forall
 return ret;
}
// </smpl>

The patch also removes a newly unnecessary initialization of err, replaces
spaces by a tab, and pulls an assignment out of a conditional test
expression.

Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@...6.fr>
