The negative error return from the call to to_sndif_format is being assigned to an unsigned 8 bit integer and hence the check for a negative value is always going to be false. Fix this by using ret as the error return and hence the negative error can be detected and assign the u8 sndif_format to ret if there is no error.

Indeed. A typical assignment mistake. Instead, we could change the type of 'sndif_format' to signed int, however in this case it's not the same as the third argument of xen_snd_front_stream_prepare() because it is 'u8'. This patch looks good to me.
