Subject: [PATCH 3.2 72/94] iio: accel: kxsd9: fix the usage of spi_w8r8()

3.2.82-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@...aro.org>

commit 0c1f91b98552da49d9d8eed32b3132a58d2f4598 upstream.

These two spi_w8r8() calls return a value with is used by the code
following the error check. The dubious use was caused by a cleanup
patch.

Fixes: d34dbee8ac8e ("staging:iio:accel:kxsd9 cleanup and conversion to iio_chan_spec.")
