The return value of pci_read_config_*() may not indicate a device error.
However, the value read by these functions is more likely to indicate
this kind of error. This presents two overlapping ways of reporting
errors and complicates error checking.

It is possible to move to one single way of checking for error if the
dependency on the return value of these functions is removed, then it
can later be made to return void.

Remove all uses of the return value of pci_read_config_*().
Check the actual value read for ~0. In this case, ~0 is an invalid
value thus it indicates some kind of error.

Bjorn,

I don't know the pci sub-system at all. Does this look good to you?

I wouldn't apply this at this point.  It's definitely true that when
pci_read_config_dword() returns an error, it's likely an alignment
problem or some other programming error, not an actual PCI error.

If an actual PCI error occurs (device failed to respond, transaction
failed because of noise or electrical issue, etc),
pci_read_config_dword() will *not* return an error; the data it reads,
e.g., rdc321x_gpio_dev->data_reg[1], will be ~0.

So with the current pci_read_config_dword() implementation, we really
need to test *both* the return value and the read data to be
completely, obsessively correct.  But that's really not practical,
hence this RFC patch where we're considering getting rid of the return
value and just making it set the read data to ~0 for all errors.

We might still get there someday, but we don't yet set the read data
to ~0 on all errors, and if/when we do that, we should have some sort
of descriptive macro that we can grep for instead of open-coding "~0"
everywhere.
