[PATCH] net-sysfs: remove redundant assignment to variable ret

From: Colin King
Date: Thu Apr 09 2020 - 09:41:33 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The variable ret is being initialized with a value that is never read
and it is being updated later with a new value. The initialization is
redundant and can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
