This series improves error handling in the sm750fb driver.
The de_wait() helpers previously returned -1 on timeout, and
callers discarded the error code by always returning -1. This
series replaces -1 with -ETIMEDOUT and propagates the error code
to improve error reporting.
Patch 1 replaces -1 with -ETIMEDOUT in de_wait() helpers.
Patch 2 propagates error codes from de_wait().
v2:
- Restore the removed comment in sm750_accel.c as requested

The hw_sm750le_de_wait() and hw_sm750_de_wait() functions return -1
when a timeout occurs. Replace these with -ETIMEDOUT to use a proper
errno value and better describe the error condition.
All callers check the return value as non-zero, so this change does
not alter existing behavior.

The sm750 acceleration functions currently return -1 when
de_wait() fails, discarding the original error code.
Since de_wait() now returns proper errno values, propagate
the error code instead of returning -1.
