Subject: drm/panel: rpi-touchscreen: propagate errors in rpi_touchscreen_i2c_read()

From: Dan Carpenter <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 85b4587f8e94143bafb8b6a4003a5187b9a8753d ]

There is one caller which checks whether rpi_touchscreen_i2c_read() returns negative error codes. Currently it can't because negative error codes are truncated to u8, but that's easy to fix if we change the type to int.
