A bit of a weird commit message IMO, I'd do

Switch -ENODEV error on i2c_get_match_data() failure to -ENODATA to
satisfy the IIO coding style. (but this is only my opinion).

(We recently had a few conversations about -ENODEV vs. -ENODATA and
while there are a lot of uses of -ENODEV in IIO they should be replaced
with -ENODATA when checking *_get_match_data() results).
