Subject: [PATCH 1/2] sound/soc/davinci/davinci-mcasp.c: Return error code in failure

In this code, 0 is returned on failure, even though other
failures return -ENOMEM or other similar values.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@a@
identifier alloc;
identifier ret;
constant C;
expression x;
@@

x = alloc(...);
if (x == NULL) { <+... \(ret = -C; \| return -C; \) ...+> }

@@
identifier f, a.alloc;
expression ret;
expression x,e1,e2,e3;
@@

ret = 0
... when != ret = e1
*x = alloc(...)
... when != ret = e2
if (x == NULL) { ... when != ret = e3
  return ret;
}
// </smpl>

Another call to platform_get_resource in the same function returns -ENODEV
on error, so I have used that value.
