Either one of these changes would silence the warning from gcc
(which is a false positive).  I would keep the "ut = 0;" change and
leave the error handling the same.  That way we check for less than
zero consistently instead of checking some for non-zero and some for
less than zero.

I normally wouldn't have commented on this if the changelog had said
whether it was a gcc false positive or if the code changes the
behavior.  It really should be mentioned.

If you could put a "Staging:" and an "iio" in the subject, that
would be grand as well.  Everyone seems to be using the prefix
"staging:iio:gyro:adis16080" for that file...  I don't know why they
don't just use slashes if they're going to specify the whole file...
