Subject: [PATCH] media: dvb: return -EREMOTEIO on i2c transfer failure.

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently when i2c transfers fail the error return -EREMOTEIO
is assigned to err but then later overwritten when the tuner
attach call is made.  Fix this by returning early with the
error return code -EREMOTEIO on i2c transfer failure errors.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
Fixes: fbfee8684ff2 ("V4L/DVB (5651): Dibusb-mb: convert pll handling to properly use dvb-pll")
