My error handling "cleanup" was totally wrong. Both the "err" and "ret"
variables are required. The "err" variable holds the error codes for
rv3029_eeprom_enter/exit() and the "ret" variable holds the error codes
for if actual write fails. In my patch if the write failed, the
function probably still returned success.
