Function drxj_dap_write_reg16(), which writes data to buffer, may fail.
We need to check if it fails, and if so, we should goto error.
Otherwise, the buffer will have incorrect data.

Did you test this on a real hardware? This kind of patch has a potential 
of breaking things, as, on some drivers, some writes may return error.

For example, when called on early stages, a write may fail because
the firmware was not loaded yet. So, a change like that should be
carefully tested with real hardware.
