Subject: [PATCH] Input-as5011: Use common error handling code in
 as5011_configure_chip()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2017 20:48:49 +0200

Add a jump target so that a specific error message is stored only once
at the end of this function implementation.
Replace four calls of the function "dev_err" by goto statements.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
