function gp2ap020a00f_get_thresh_reg() is unsigned but returning -EINVAL 
errcode, and thresh_reg_l is unsigned but receiving -EINVAL errcode. so 
we have to change u8 -> int.

V1->V2: s8 is not enough to hold an (arbitrary) error code. To be on the safe
side we need to use int

Hi,

The return value is not checked in *read_event_val(), so if we actually got
-EINVAL (in reality we can't because the switch in *_get_thresh_reg*) always
matches) then we'd use it to index an array (after performing some maths on
the value).  So please also add a check that the return value is not
negative in read_event_val()

Same is true or write_event_val.


Note that the bug here is probably the fact we return -EINVAL in the
first place. We could just stop doing that but it would be non obvious
when looking at the code that we couldn't get a failure to match in
the switch statement - so fixing as you have done (plus the extra
check I'm requesting) is probably the neatest solution.

Thanks,

Jonathan
