Maybe return qca8k_rmw(priv, reg, 0, val); ??

Can this is simplified to

What does qca8k_rmw() actually return?

     Andrew

qca8k_rmw in the original code returns the value read from the reg and
modified. So this is why all the strange checks. The idea is to not
change the original return values of the users so I check if every return
value is negative and return 0 in all the other cases.
