[PATCH 3/6] firmware: semihosting: don't return error code from writec/write0

As described in the "ARM Compiler toolchain Developing Software
for ARM Processors Version 5.0" document[1], SYS_WRITE0 and SYS_WRITEC
corrupt the R0 register, unlike the other calls that return negative
error codes. Therefore change the return type to void.
