    orinoco_usb: Fix broken firmware load error checking
    
    The check of ezusb_firmware_download() return value (added by commit
    488ec878034eccb852267b0e27ce9d511f75c587) is broken because
    ezusb_firmware_download() returns 1 on success.
    This causes the driver not to work with the following error:
    orinoco_usb: probe of 3-3:1.0 failed with error -14
    
    Check the return value only for negative values.
    
    This fix should be applied to -stable kernels too.
