Subject: [PATCH] lib: remove redundant assignment to variable ret
Date: Thu, 30 Dec 2021 13:45:57 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211230134557.83633-1-colin.i.king@gmail.com> (raw)

Variable ret is being assigned a value that is never read. If the
for-loop is entered then ret is immediately re-assigned a new
value. If the for-loop is not executed ret is never read. The
assignment is redundant and can be removed.
