What I mean is priv_flow_start() is returning a positive errno as all
other functions priv_*() that's the main reason for the final rteurn -err;
Internally MLX5 driver only works with positives errnos as lot of them
are retuning the values from ioctl directly. Only the public ones are
returning negatives.
