Subject: [PATCH] rtc: abx80x: Fix return value of nvmem callback on read

Read callbacks registered with nvmem core expect 0 to be returned on
success and a negative value to be returned on failure.

abx80x_nvmem_xfer() on read calls i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() which
returns the number of bytes read on success as per its api description,
this return value is handled as an error and returned to nvmem even on
success.

Fix to handle all possible values that would be returned by
i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data().

I guess this is the conservative approach. Ie. Don't break things
which aren't already broken. But I suspect the correct approach is to
say:

if (ret != len)
return -EIO;

Ah well. Being conservative is good. It probably doesn't ever happen
in real life so it probably doesn't matter either way.

I don't really like the if (write) follow by and if (!write)... It
would add more lines, but improve readability if we just duplicate the
code a big:

if (write) {
ret = write();
if (ret)
return ret;
} else {
ret = read();
if (ret <= 0)
return ret ?: -EIO;
len = ret;
}

Sure, I'll do this in a follow up patch.
