[1/2] spi: fix kernel-doc warnings about missing return desc in spi.h

Commit Message

Javier Martinez Canillas Oct. 22, 2015, 4:59 p.m. UTC

When building docs with make htmldocs, warnings about not having
a description for the return value are reported, i.e:

warning: No description found for return value of 'spi_write'

Fix these by following the kernel-doc conventions explained in
Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt.
