From: Bartosz Golaszewski <redacted>

struct gpio_chip now has callbacks for setting line values that return
an integer, allowing to indicate failures. Convert the driver to using
them.

This does not match the address with which you sent the patch: brgl@bgdev.pl

mcp251x_gpio_set() calls mcp251x_write_bits() which calls mcp251x_spi_write()
which can fail.

For this change to really make sense, the return value of mcp251x_spi_write()
should be propagated all the way around.

I don't know this code so I followed the example of the rest of the
codebase where the result of this function is never checked - even in
functions that do return values. I didn't know the reason for this and
so didn't want to break anything as I have no means of testing it.

Can you confirm that you really want the result to be checked here?
