usb_control_msg() returns the number of transferred bytes or a negative
error code. The current implementation propagates the transferred byte
count, which is unintended. This affects code paths that assume a
boolean success/failure check, such as the EEPROM detection logic.
Fix this by ensuring lan78xx_read_reg() and lan78xx_write_reg() return
only 0 on success and preserve negative error codes.
This approach is consistent with existing usage, as the transferred byte
count is not explicitly checked elsewhere.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
