Subject: [PATCH 3.13 022/259] staging: iio/ad7291: fix error code in ad7291_probe()

3.13.11.6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit b70e19c222a64018d308ebc80333575aff9f4e51 upstream.

We should be returning a negative error code instead of success here.

This would have been detected by GCC, except that the "ret" variable was
initialized with a bogus value to disable GCC's uninitialized variable
warnings.  I've cleaned that up, as well.
