Change it to check those error conditions and return an error value if appropriate. The trickiest case is the check for when the previously set up asynchronous command has terminated with an error. In that case, `-EPIPE` is returned (as it is for a read of non-zero length) and the subdevice gets marked as non-busy. A zero-length read that returns 0 has no other effects, in particular, it does not cause the subdevice to be marked as non-busy, and the return value does not indicate an "end-of-file" condition.
