Subject: [PATCH] seeq: use PTR_RET at init_module of driver

the driver sees wether the dev_seeq pointer is having a error that can be
read by using the PTR_ERR, and returns it at error case, other wise 0 at
success case.

the PTR_RET does the same thing, and use PTR_RET instead of redoing the
code of PTR_RET

This patch is actually made by using coccinelle, and also by looking
at the PTR_RET function.

as its implementation is
static int PTR_RET(void *ptr)
{
	if (IS_ERR(ptr)
		return PTR_ERR(ptr);
	return 0;
}

by using this i removed the following code and replaced with PTR_RET....
