    This concerns only the CI (CAM) related code of firedtv of which I know
    little.  Let's just pass through the error returns of lower level I/O
    code where applicable, and -EACCES (permission denied) when a seemingly
    valid but negative FCP response or an unknown-to-firedtv CA message is
    received.
