gcc warns about a potentially uninitialized variable use in as3935_event_work:
drivers/iio/proximity/as3935.c: In function ‘as3935_event_work’: drivers/iio/proximity/as3935.c:231:6: error: ‘val’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] This case specifically happens when spi_w8r8() fails with a negative return code. We check all other users of this function except this one. As the error is rather unlikely to happen after the device has already been initialized, this just adds a dev_warn(). Another warning already existst in the same function, but is missing a trailing '\n' character, so I'm fixing that too.
