This being a dependency on 3/3 it would've been good to send this To: me
as well. I hadn't seen this in my inbox and had simply discarded it as
being independent. Of course if I had properly checked the build I
would've noticed...

Anyway, I've applied this with slight modifications. I removed the raw
short write helper. I don't think it buys us much and we already have an
open-coded variant in mipi_dsi_set_maximum_return_packet_size(). I've
also moved these functions closer to the Set Maximum Return Packet Size
command implementation because they are part of the same command set. I
also made the functions return int instead of ssize_t to avoid potential
confusion about their return value (ssize_t implies "number of bytes
transferred, or a negative error code on failure).

One minor comment below...

When the kerneldoc comment says "negative error code", developers will
expect one of the -E* constants. -1 maps to -EPERM (operation not
permitted), which isn't a good error code for this case. This is also an
internal function, so these errors really should never happen.

Anyway, since I removed this helper this isn't an issue anymore, just
wanted to mention it.

Thanks,
Thierry
