Subject: [PATCH 0/9] gpib: Unify *allocate_private

Recently, gpib driver got out of staging area. There is still a bit of work that
can be done to improve it.

Return values for *allocate_private functions as well as calling code in
gpib driver are all over the place. Unify them by returning -errno if
something fails, zero otherwise. Use the returned value as early return
value in case of error.

Untouched gpib files already use the proposed convention.
