[PATCH 9/9] sound/ppc/snd_ps3.c: fix error return code

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Sun Aug 19 2012 - 03:03:19 EST


From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx>

Initialize ret before returning on failure, as done elsewhere in the
function.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
(
if@p1 (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\))
{ ... return ret; }
|
ret@p1 = 0
)
... when != ret = e1
when != &ret
*if(...)
{
... when != ret = e2
when forall
return ret;
}

// </smpl>
