Changing the return type without using the different error code in the
caller is quite useless. Additionally t7xx_dl_add_timedout() (via
ioread32_poll_timeout_atomic()) can produce a single error value
(ETIMEOUT). IMHO this change is not needed.

You may want to remove the 'ret' local variable instead (in the same
function)
