The probe() function ignored the return value of spi_setup(), leaving SPI
configuration failures undetected. If spi_setup() fails, the driver should
stop initialization and propagate the error to the caller.
Add proper error handling: check the return value of spi_setup() and return
it on failure.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

As patch suggestion, we could also have
spi-cpha: true
in ad7280a dt-binding.
Thanks,

That would make sense as a follow up.
Applied this to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git. Given point in cycle
this may well wait until the merge window.
