Subject: [PATCH] carl9170: Fix error return -EAGAIN if not started

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

There is an error return path where the error return is being
assigned to err rather than count and the error exit path does
not return -EAGAIN as expected. Fix this by setting the error
return to variable count as this is the value that is returned
at the end of the function.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
