The ade7753_spi_read_reg_16() will either successfully read a value
from SPI, or return a failure code without delivering data. However,
the ade7753_stop_device() and ade7753_reset() functions use the returned
data without checking for an error condition first. Gcc detects this
as a possible bug and warns about it:

drivers/staging/iio/meter/ade7753.c: In function 'ade7753_remove':
drivers/staging/iio/meter/ade7753.c:348:6: error: 'val' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  val |= BIT(4);  /* AD converters can be turned off */
      ^
drivers/staging/iio/meter/ade7753.c:345:6: note: 'val' was declared here
  u16 val;
      ^
drivers/staging/iio/meter/ade7753.c: In function 'ade7753_probe':
drivers/staging/iio/meter/ade7753.c:222:6: error: 'val' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

In both cases, we can avoids the warning by checking the return code
before using the data.

Thanks.

Applied to the togreg branch of iio.git - initially pushed out as testing for
the autobuilders to play with it.

Thanks,

Jonathan
