Subject: [PATCH 3/8] drivers/mmc/host: Use ERR_CAST

From: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk>

Use ERR_CAST(x) rather than ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x)).  The former makes more
clear what is the purpose of the operation, which otherwise looks like a
no-op.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
type T;
T x;
identifier f;
@@

T f (...) { <+...
- ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x))
+ x
 ...+> }

@@
expression x;
@@

- ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x))
+ ERR_CAST(x)
// </smpl>
