Well, it changes the comment too, and is clearly intentional.

I guess the logic was to have the usual "0 for success, negative for
error" logic.

Which is good - but dammit, when you change the return value, you
should definitely check and update all the callers.

Because yes, updating the call in alc_fixup_dell_wmi() fixes the
problem for me.

Grr. I wasted a fair amount of time on this.
