[alsa-devel] [patch] sound/usb/format: silence uninitialized variable warnings

Gcc complains that ret might be used uninitialized:

sound/usb/format.c: In function ‘snd_usb_parse_audio_format’:
sound/usb/format.c:354: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function
sound/usb/format.c:354: note: ‘ret’ was declared here
sound/usb/format.c:414: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function
sound/usb/format.c:414: note: ‘ret’ was declared here

I suppose it could be if there is ever a UAC_VERSION_3 released. Anyway
this patch is worthwhile if only to silence the gcc warning.
