After value is overwritten soon right after the diff.

See:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/vcn_v4_0.c

static int vcn_v4_0_stop(struct amdgpu_device *adev)
{
         volatile struct amdgpu_vcn4_fw_shared *fw_shared;
...

         for (i = 0; i < adev->vcn.num_vcn_inst; ++i) {
                 fw_shared = adev->vcn.inst[i].fw_shared.cpu_addr;
                 fw_shared->sq.queue_mode |= FW_QUEUE_DPG_HOLD_OFF;

                 if (adev->pg_flags & AMD_PG_SUPPORT_VCN_DPG) {
                         r = vcn_v4_0_stop_dpg_mode(adev, i);
                         continue;
                 }

                 /* wait for vcn idle */
                 r = SOC15_WAIT_ON_RREG(VCN, i, regUVD_STATUS, 
UVD_STATUS__IDLE, 0x7);

Here, any value assigned to r is overwritten before it could
be used. So the assignment in the true branch of the if statement
here can be removed.
