Subject: [PATCH] ti-st: Use a signed return type for st_ll_sleep_state()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 19 Dec 2015 17:15:34 +0100

The return type "unsigned long" was used by the st_ll_sleep_state()
function despite of the aspect that it will eventually return a negative
error code.
Improve this implementation detail by deletion of the type modifier then.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
