The mtk_memif_set_addr() and mtk_memif_set_format() functions always returns 0, so it is necessary to remove the check of its return value (which was probably specified by analogy with the check of return values for other functions) to make the code more readable
If the return values can be safely ignored the functions should be updated to return void, if the functions are returning a value it is sensible defensive programming to check it.

This is in no way a bug fix, please don't include noise like this - it causes people to waste time doing things like considering it for backport.
Please submit patches using subject lines reflecting the style for the subsystem, this makes it easier for people to identify relevant patches. Look at what existing commits in the area you're changing are doing and make sure your subject lines visually resemble what they're doing. There's no need to resubmit to fix this alone.
