I have improperly refactored commits
4d5ed2621c24 ("leds: turris-omnia: Make set_brightness() more efficient")
and
aaf38273cf76 ("leds: turris-omnia: Support HW controlled mode via private trigger")
after Lee requested a change in API semantics of the new functions I
introduced in commit
28350bc0ac77 ("leds: turris-omnia: Do not use SMBUS calls").
Before the change, the function omnia_cmd_write_u8() returned 0 on
success, and afterwards it returned a positive value (number of bytes
written). The latter version was applied, but the following commits did
not properly account for this change.
This results in non-functional LED's .brightness_set_blocking() and
trigger's .activate() methods.
The main reasoning behind the semantics change was that read/write
methods should return the number of read/written bytes on success.
It was pointed to me [1] that this is not always true (for example the
regmap API does not do so), and since the driver never uses this number
of read/written bytes information, I decided to fix this issue by
changing the functions to the original semantics (return 0 on success).

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 Restructured Text 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.
