Subject: [PATCH v2] iio: light: gp2ap020a00f: Correct return type to int

The function gp2ap020a00f_get_thresh_reg() can return -EINVAL in
its error path. Yet, the function has return type of u8. Add error
checking for gp2ap020a00f_get_thresh_reg() return's value.

Fixes: 5d6a25bad035 ("iio:gp2ap020a00f: Switch to new event config interface")

v2: 
- Fixed gp2ap020a00f_get_thresh_reg() parameter alignment.
- Removed unneeded whitespace between assignment and check.
