Actually I think I broke it when I introduced the comedi_upload_firmware()
helper and converted the usbdux drivers to use it.

This would only fix the usbduxfast driver.
I think Ian's comment about fixing comedi_load_firmware() is the correct
one. This should do it:

Subject: [PATCH] staging: comedi: drivers: fix return value of
comedi_load_firmware()
Some of the callback functions that upload the firmware in the comedi
drivers return a positive value indicating the number of bytes sent
to the device. Detect this condition and just return '0' to indicate
a successful upload.
