This "status" is declared as type acpi_status but it is never used to
store any acpi_statuses, only int.

The tpm_show_ppi_response() function returns ssize_t (signed long) and
acpi_status is unsigned int.  That means that negative error codes will
be type promoted to large positive values.

Fixes: 84b1667dea23 ("ACPI / TPM: replace open-coded _DSM code with helper functions")
