1. Following the ARM SMC32 calling convention, the return value from secure monitor is a 32-bit signed integer. This patch changes the type of the return value of the function meson_sm_call(). 2. Now, when meson_sm_call() returns a 32-bit signed integer, we need to ensure that this value is not negative. It is important to check that the return value is not negative in both the meson_sm_call_read() and meson_sm_call_write() functions. 3. Add a comment explaining why it is necessary to check if the SMC return value is equal to 0 in the function meson_sm_call_read(). It is not obvious when reading this code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
