receive_buf() is called from ttyport_receive_buf() that expects values ">= 0" from serdev_controller_receive_buf(), change its return type from ssize_t to size_t.
The need for this clean-up was noticed while fixing a warning, see commit 94d053942544 ("Bluetooth: btnxpuart: fix recv_buf() return value"). Changing the callback prototype to return an unsigned seems the best way to document the API and ensure that is properly used.
GNSS drivers implementation of serdev receive_buf() callback return directly the return value of gnss_insert_raw(). gnss_insert_raw() returns a signed int, however this is not an issue since the value returned is always positive, because of the kfifo_in() implementation. gnss_insert_raw() could be changed to return also an unsigned, however this is not implemented here as request by the GNSS maintainer Johan Hovold.

v1:
v2:
- rebased on 6.8-rc1
- add acked-by Jonathan
- do not change gnss_insert_raw()
- do not change the code style of the gnss code
- commit message improvements, explain the reasons for doing only minimal changes on the GNSS part
Looks good to me now:
