[PATCH] fpga: bridge: return errors in the show() method of the "state" attribute

[Marco Pagani]

This patch changes the show() method of the "state" sysfs attribute to
propagate errors returned by the enable_show() op. In this way,
userspace can distinguish between when the bridge is actually "enabled"
(i.e., allowing signals) or "disabled" (i.e., gating signals), or when
there is an error.

Currently, enable_show() returns an integer representing the bridge's
state (enabled or disabled) or an error code. However, this integer
value is interpreted in state_show() as a bool, resulting in the method
printing "enabled" (i.e., the bridge allows signals to pass), without
propagating the error, even when enable_show() returns an error code.

Thanks
