Subject: [PATCH v6 4/7] Input: synaptics-rmi4 - f55: handle zero electrode
 count

From: Kaustabh Chakraborty <kauschluss@...root.org>

Some third party ICs claim to support f55 but report an electrode count
of 0. Catch this and bail out early so that we don't confuse the i2c bus
with 0 sized reads.
