Subject: pstore: fix one type of return value in pstore
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8d38d74b648513dd8ed8bd2b67d899208ef4e09e;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

pstore: fix one type of return value in pstore

the return type of function _read_ in pstore is size_t,
but in the callback function of _read_, the logic doesn't
consider it too much, which means if negative value (assuming
error here) is returned, it will be converted to positive because
of type casting. ssize_t is enough for this function.
