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.")

+
+Display Hardware Handling
+=========================
+
+This section covers everything related to the display hardware including
+the mode setting infrastructure, plane, sprite and cursor handling and
+display, output probing and related topics.

+
+KUnit Tests
+===========
+
+The VC4 Driver uses KUnit to perform driver-specific unit and
+integration tests.
+
+These tests are using a mock driver and can be ran using the
+command below, on either arm or arm64 architectures,
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run \
+ --kunitconfig=drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/tests/.kunitconfig \
+ --cross_compile aarch64-linux-gnu- --arch arm64
+
+Parts of the driver that are currently covered by tests are:
+ * The HVS to PixelValve dynamic FIFO assignment, for the BCM2835-7
+ and BCM2711.
+
