 _rtw_pktfile_read to int

Hi Dan,

Sorry, I just realized what you meant.

You were suggesting to keep the 'Fix' (including the necessary type 
change for error codes) and 'Cleanup' (formatting and style) separate 
to make the fix easier to backport.

I misunderstood "leave the type alone" as "never change the type." 
I'll reorganize the series into the two patches 
you suggested and send v6 shortly.

Thanks for the clarification!

Best regards

Minu Jin
