Currently the variable ret is uninitialized and is only set if
the pointer alt_path is non-null. Fix this by ininitializing ret
to zero.

Nice catch!

I assume this will be fixed by Linus' patch "brcmfmac: firmware: Fix
firmware loading" and I should drop Colin's patch, correct?

That would be my assumption as well, but not sure when he will submit another revision of it. You probably know what to do ;-)
