Subject: [PATCH 4.19 191/421] fsi: core: Fix return of error values on failures

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

[ Upstream commit 910810945707fe9877ca86a0dca4e585fd05e37b ]

Currently the cfam_read and cfam_write functions return the provided
number of bytes given in the count parameter and not the error return
code in variable rc, hence all failures of read/writes are being
silently ignored. Fix this by returning the error code in rc.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
Fixes: d1dcd6782576 ("fsi: Add cfam char devices")
