Subject[PATCH stable] PCI: return correct value when writing to the "reset" attribute
commit 447c5dd7338638f526e9bcf7dcf69b4da5835c7d
Author: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>
Date: Tue May 11 11:44:54 2010 +0200

A successful write() to the "reset" sysfs attribute should return the
number of bytes written, not 0. Otherwise userspace (bash) retries the
write over and over again.

Applies without changes to all of 2.6.32,2.6.33,2.6.34

This bug is starting to bite userspace, it seems that the right thing to
do is to fix the bug in stable kernels.
