Hi Rodrigo,

I'm not sure what the chain of authorship was here.  If this is fundamentally
John's original patch he should still be the author and his sign off should be
first.  You then sign off afterwards to indicate that you 'handled' the patch
and believe the work to be John's (you are trusting his sign off).  This
is 'fun' legal stuff - read the docs on developers certificate of origin.

If the patch has changed 'enough' (where that is a fuzzy definition)
then you should as you have here take the authorship, but John's sign off is
no longer true (it's a different patch).  If John has reviewed the code
it is fine to have a reviewed-by or acked-by from John there to reflect
that.

Anyhow, please clarify the situation as I shouldn't take a patch where
I'm applying my sign-off without knowing the origins etc.

So for write cases you are flattening to 0 for good and < 0 for bad.
good.

But in read cases you are returning the number of bytes read...
Given these functions can know the 'right' answer to that why not check
it here and do the same as for writes in return 0 for good and < 0 for
bad?

If you did as discussed above with the reads then this change would not
be needed and all the changes would be confined to the i2c code.

Thanks,
