staging: gpib: Fix no EOI on 1 and 2 byte writes



EOI (End Or Identify) is a hardware line on the GPIB bus that can be
asserted with the last byte of a message to indicate the end of the
transfer to the receiving device.

In this driver, a write with send_eoi true is done in 3 parts:
  Send first byte directly
  Send remaining but 1 bytes using the fifo
  Send the last byte directly with EOI asserted

The first byte in a write is always sent by writing to the tms9914
chip directly to setup for the subsequent fifo transfer.  We were not
checking for a 1 byte write with send_eoi true resulting in EOI not
being asserted. Since the fifo transfer was not executed
(fifotransfersize == 0) the retval in the test after the fifo transfer
code was still 1 from the preceding direct write. This caused it to
return without executing the final direct write which would have sent
an unsollicited extra byte.

For a 2 byte message the first byte was sent directly. But since the
fifo transfer was not executed (fifotransfersize == 1) and the retval
in the test after the fifo transfer code was still 1 from the
preceding first byte write it returned before the final direct byte
write with send_eoi true. The second byte was then sent as a separate
1 byte write to complete the 2 byte write count again without EOI
being asserted as above.

Only send the first byte directly if more than 1 byte is to be
transferred with send_eoi true.

Also check for retval < 0 for the error return in case the fifo code
is not used (1 or 2 byte message with send_eoi true).
