[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: Fix an error code in spi_nor_read_raw()

[Dan Carpenter]

The problem is that if "ret" is negative then when we check if
"ret > len", that condition is going to be true because of type
promotion.  So this patch re-orders the code to check for negatives
first and preserve those error codes.

Bonuspoints to make this more readable:

	if (ret==0 || ret > len)
		return -EIO;

that makes the intention more obvious.

That's not really related to the bug fix.

I do agree with your style though.  "ret" is a number here, and not a
bool or error vs no error so == 0 is nicer.

Since the bug was not introduced in the previous release and we are quite late
for mtd/fixes,

Applied to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mtd/linux.git,
spi-nor/next branch.

Thanks,
