Subject: [PATCH 3.16 162/254] can: gs_usb: fix return value of the
 "set_bittiming" callback

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

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

From: Wolfgang Grandegger <wg@...ndegger.com>

commit d5b42e6607661b198d8b26a0c30969605b1bf5c7 upstream.

The "set_bittiming" callback treats a positive return value as error!
For that reason "can_changelink()" will quit silently after setting
the bittiming values without processing ctrlmode, restart-ms, etc.
