The functions the functions amd_ec_wait_write and amd_ec_wait_read have an
unsigned return type, but return a negative constant to indicate an error
condition.

A sematic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@exists@
identifier f;
constant C;
@@

 unsigned f(...)
 { <+...
*  return -C;
 ...+> }
// </smpl>

Fixing amd_ec_wait_write and amd_ec_wait_read leads to the need to adjust
the return type of the functions amd_ec_write and amd_ec_read, which are
the only functions that call amd_ec_wait_write and amd_ec_wait_read.
amd_ec_write and amd_ec_read, in turn, are only called from within the
function amd8111_access, which already returns a signed typed value.  Each
of the calls to amd_ec_write and amd_ec_read are updated using the
following semantic patch:

// <smpl>
@@
@@

+ status = amd_ec_write
- amd_ec_write
  (...);
+ if (status) return status;

@@
@@

+ status = amd_ec_read
- amd_ec_read
  (...);
+ if (status) return status;
// </smpl>

The patch also adds the declaration of the status variable.
