Subject: [PATCH 3.16 049/212] USB: serial: spcp8x5: fix modem-status handling

3.16.44-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit 5ed8d41023751bdd3546f2fe4118304357efe8d2 upstream.

Make sure to detect short control transfers and return zero on success
when retrieving the modem status.

This fixes the TIOCMGET implementation which since e1ed212d8593 ("USB:
spcp8x5: add proper modem-status support") has returned TIOCM_LE on
successful retrieval, and avoids leaking bits from the stack on short
transfers.

This also fixes the carrier-detect implementation which since the above
mentioned commit unconditionally has returned true.

Fixes: e1ed212d8593 ("USB: spcp8x5: add proper modem-status support")
