Subject: [PATCH] bus: moxtet: Update proper type 'size_t' to 'ssize_t'
Message-ID: <20190911055938.GA130589@LGEARND20B15>
MIME-Version: 1.0

User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.24 (2015-08-30)
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The simple_write_to_buffer() returns ssize_t type value,
which is either positive or negative.

However 'res' is declared as size_t(unsigned int)
which contains non-negative type.

So 'res < 0' statement is always false,
this cannot execute execptional-case  handling.

To prevent this case,
update proper type 'size_t' to 'ssize_t' for execptional handling.
