Subject: [PATCH 2/4 v2] misc: xilinx_sdfec: Return -EFAULT if copy_from_user() fails

From: Dan Carpenter <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2019 11:31:05 +0300

The copy_from_user() function returns the number of bytes remaining to
be copied but we want to return -EFAULT to the user.

Fixes: 20ec628e8007 ("misc: xilinx_sdfec: Add ability to configure LDPC")
