Noticed this while having some problems with hubs sometimes not being
detected on the first plug. Every single dpcd read or write function
returns the number of bytes transferred on success or a negative error
code, except apparently for drm_dp_mst_dpcd_write() - which returns 0 on
success.
There's not really any good reason for this difference that I can tell,
and having the two functions give differing behavior means that
drm_dp_dpcd_write() will end up returning 0 on success for MST devices,
but the number of bytes transferred for everything else.
So, fix that and update the kernel doc.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
