If there is a failure during copy_from_user or user-provided data buffer
is invalid, rtl_debugfs_set_write_rfreg should return negative error code
instead of a positive value count.

Fix this bug by returning correct error code. Moreover, the check of buffer
against null is removed since it will be handled by copy_from_user.

Hi Wei Chen,

* I'm not sure if a fixes tag is appropriate for this.
  But if so, perhaps it should be:

  Fixes: 610247f46feb ("rtlwifi: Improve debugging by using debugfs")

* I think the preferred subject prefix may be                                     'rtlwifi: ' (without the leading 'wireless: ').

* This seems to be v2 of this patch, which would be best noted in
  the subject '[PATCH v2]'.               

The above notwithstanding, the code changes look correct to me.

Dear Simon,

Thanks for the advice and review. I have sent the second version of the patch.

Besides, rtl_debugfs_set_write_reg also suffers from the incorrect
error code problem. I also sent v2 of the corresponding patch. Hope
there is no confusion between these two patches.

Best,
Wei

Thanks. I now see there are two similar but different patches. My bad.

Avoid all such misunderstandings by making a patch set.
