Subject: [PATCH] Revert "staging: fbtft: remove goto from define_fbtft_write_reg macro and clarify empty modifier fbtft-bus.c"

Replace the goto-based error handling in the define_fbtft_write_reg macro with an
early return while ensuring va_end() is called on all exit paths.

Also add a short comment explaining the empty modifier argument used
for native byte-order writes, instead of introducing an identity macro.

No functional change intended.

This reverts commit 6eec69e273e124dca8549fc52b0958b2953085ee. As per maintainer's feedback.
