Subject:
 [PATCH v3 3/4] ACPI: CPPC: Do not use CPUFREQ_ETERNAL as an error value

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

Instead of using CPUFREQ_ETERNAL for signaling an error condition
in cppc_get_transition_latency(), change the return value type of
that function to int and make it return a proper negative error
code on failures.

No intentional functional impact.

v2 -> v3:
   * Combine two if () statements in cppc_get_transition_latency() (Jie Zhan)
   * Add tags from Mario Limonciello and Jie Zhan

v1 -> v2:
   * Change cppc_get_transition_latency() return value data type to int
   * Make it return -ENODATA on errors (Mario)
   * Update its callers accordingly
   * Adjust the subject and changelog
   * Add a missing empty code line to cppc_get_transition_latency()
