Subject: [PATCH 4.9 106/171] iio: pressure: zpa2326: Remove always-true check which confuses gcc

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

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

[ Upstream commit f61dfff2f5b9fcb087bf5c444bc44b444709588f ]

With gcc 4.1.2:

    drivers/iio/pressure/zpa2326.c: In function ‘zpa2326_wait_oneshot_completion’:
    drivers/iio/pressure/zpa2326.c:868: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function

When testing for "timeout < 0", timeout is already guaranteed to be
strict negative, so the branch is always taken, and ret is thus always
initialized.  But (some version of) gcc is not smart enough to notice.

Remove the check to fix this.
As there is no other code in between assigning the error codes and
returning them, the error codes can be returned immediately, and the
intermediate variable can be dropped.
Drop the "else" to please checkpatch.
