iio: proximity: isl29501: Fix return type of isl29501_register_writegrafted
isl29501_register_write() was returning a u32 instead of an int. Since the function returns negative error codes (such as -ERANGE or return values from i2c_smbus_write_byte_data()), returning an unsigned integer type prevents callers from correctly checking for negative error conditions. Fix this by changing the function return type from u32 to int. This was found through manual code review. Fixes: 1c28799257bc ("iio: light: isl29501: Add support for the ISL29501 ToF sensor.")

+Firewire (IEEE 1394) driver Interface Guide
+===========================================
+
+Introduction and Overview
+=========================
+
+The Linux FireWire subsystem adds some interfaces into the Linux system to
+ use/maintain+any resource on IEEE 1394 bus.
+
+The main purpose of these interfaces is to access address space on each node
+on IEEE 1394 bus by ISO/IEC 13213 (IEEE 1212) procedure, and to control
+isochronous resources on the bus by IEEE 1394 procedure.
+
+Two types of interfaces are added, according to consumers of the interface. A
+set of userspace interfaces is available via `firewire character devices`. A set
+of kernel interfaces is available via exported symbols in `firewire-core` module.
