firewire: cdev: simplify FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_REQUEST return value
This changes the ioctl() return value of FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_REQUEST and of the as yet unreleased FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_BROADCAST_REQUEST. They used to return sizeof(struct fw_cdev_send_request *) + data_length which is obviously a failed attempt to emulate the return value of raw1394's respective interface which uses write() instead of ioctl(). However, the first summand, as size of a kernel pointer, is entirely meaningless to clients and the second summand is already known to clients. And the result does not resemble raw1394's write() return code anyway. So simplify it to a constant non-negative value, i.e. 0. The only dangers here would be that future client implementations check for error by ret != 0 instead of ret < 0 when running on top of an old kernel; or that current clients interpret ret = 0 or more as failure. But both are hypothetical cases which don't justify to return irritating values. While we touch this code, also remove "& 0x1f" from tcode in the call of fw_send_request. The tcode cannot be bigger than 0x1f at this point. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
