Subject: [PATCH 07/20] media: si21xx: report eventual errors at set_frontend

If an error occurs while setting the registers at set_frontend,
it is silently ignored. Yet, the variable status is updated.

Change the logic to return an error if it fails to write values
to the registers.

I am not super familiar with the different return codes so I assume it
is appropriate (the sites that I see calling set_frontend() appears to
only check for a negative return code).

There are a couple of return codes used on media when I/O transfer fails.
Some places use -EREMOTEIO. Others use -EIO or -ENXIO.

I guess -EREMOTEIO is a little bit better than -EIO for I2C transfers,
as the problem usually happened inside an I2C bus at the DVB adapter.
