PATCH 1 to 7:

PCIBIOS_ error codes have positive values and they are passed down the
call heirarchy from accessors. For functions which are meant to return
only a negative value on failure, passing on this value is a bug.

To mitigate this, call pcibios_err_to_errno() before passing on return
value from pcie capability accessors call heirarchy. This function
converts any positive PCIBIOS_ error codes to negative non-PCI generic
error values.

PATCH 8:

The pcie capability accessors can return 0, -EINVAL, or any PCIBIOS_ error
code. The pci accessor on the other hand can only return 0 or any PCIBIOS_
error code.This inconsistency among these accessor makes it harder for
callers to check for errors.

Return PCIBIOS_BAD_REGISTER_NUMBER instead of -EINVAL in all pcie
capability accessors.
