[Antoniu Miclaus]

Minor cleanups across two IIO drivers to simplify return paths by
removing unnecessary intermediate variable assignments before returning
error codes.

[PATCH 1/2] iio: adc: ad7266: simplify error return

[Antoniu Miclaus]

Return PTR_ERR() directly instead of assigning it to an intermediate
variable first.

Return -ETIMEDOUT directly instead of assigning it to an intermediate
variable first.

I would prefer to have just

	if (!wait_for_completion_timeout(&st->adc_data_completion,
					 msecs_to_jiffies(1000)))
		return -ETIMEDOUT;

Using ret in a different semantics might lead to subtle issues in case some
code sneaks in and out of a sudden will recognize positive value as something
else.
