Hmm.  Just for reference the docs of spi_w8r8 are:

* Return: the (unsigned) eight bit number returned by the
* device, or else a negative error code.

Not 0 on success (well not unless it is zero.

So the check indeed looks wrong as should be if (ret < 0)

It's in my tree.

I'll drop the patch when I'm on the right machine.  Andrew, could
you do a new version fixing this up?  If not can make the changes
but will be at least the weekend before I get a chance.

Looks like there are a couple of instances of this.
