+Subject: [PATCH] staging: mmal-vchiq: If the VPU returns an error,
+ don't negate it
+
+There is an enum for the errors that the VPU can return.
+port_parameter_get was negating that value, but also using -EINVAL
+from the Linux error codes.
+Pass the VPU error code as positive values. Should the function
+need to pass a Linux failure, then return that as negative.
