When error occurs, need return the related error code to let upper
caller know about it.

ppc_md.nvram_size() can return the error code (e.g. core99_nvram_size()
in 'arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/nvram.c').

And when '*ppos >= size', need return -ESPIPE (Illegal seek)
Why?  When *ppos >= size, it should return 0 (end of file) in my opinion.
ESPIPE means that any seek would be ineffective, not that a particular
seek went out of bounds.
OK, thanks, I will send patch v2.  :-)


Thanks.
