Subject: [PATCH 5.17 0669/1126] powerpc/xive: fix return value of __setup handler

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@...radead.org>

[ Upstream commit d64e3eab75a8e1e900c0fda2410a2df8893d8f85 ]

__setup() handlers should return 1 to obsolete_checksetup() in
init/main.c to indicate that the boot option has been handled.

A return of 0 causes the boot option/value to be listed as an Unknown
kernel parameter and added to init's (limited) argument or environment
strings.

Also, error return codes don't mean anything to obsolete_checksetup() --
only non-zero (usually 1) or zero. So return 1 from xive_off() and
xive_store_eoi_cmdline().

Fixes: 243e25112d06 ("powerpc/xive: Native exploitation of the XIVE interrupt controller")
Fixes: c21ee04f11ae ("powerpc/xive: Add a kernel parameter for StoreEOI")
