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

[Julia Lawall]

From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall at lip6.fr>

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

// </smpl>
