Subject: [PATCH] iio:ad7793: Fix the serial interface reset

The serial interface can be reset by writing 32 consecutive 1s to the device.
The value of 'ret' is overwritten when ad7793_check_platform_data() is called,
so it should be initialized to -1 only before doing the spi_write().

Fixes: commit 2edb769d246e ("iio:ad7793: Add support for the ad7798 and ad7799")
