[PATCH 14/14] [media] fix warning on v4l2_subdev_call() result interpreted as bool

Changing:

- if (!frob()) {
+ if (frob() == 0) {

is a totally pointless change.  They're both bad, because they're doing
success testing instead of failure testing, but probably the second one
is slightly worse.

This warning seems dumb.  I can't imagine it has even a 10% success rate
at finding real bugs.  Just disable it.

Changing the code to propagate error codes, is the right thing of course
so long as it doesn't introduce bugs.
