[PATCH] iio: dac: use int instead of u32 to store error codes

[Qianfeng Rong]

Use int instead of unsigned int for 'ret' variable to store negative error

This is a fix, so needs a fixes tag.

Given the two drivers were introduced in separate patches
I would suggest splitting this into two different patches so
we can call out how far to backport each one (via the appropriate
fixes tags!)
