 condition

You're right that there is a bug but this is not the right fix.

The ade7854_i2c_write_reg_32() function returns 6 on success which makes
no sense.  It should be zero or negative error codes.  All the write_reg
functions in drivers/staging/iio/meter/ade7854-i2c.c have the same bug.

Please, fix that instead and leave ade7854_initial_setup() alone.
