Subject: [PATCH] net: mscc: ocelot: Fix uninitialized error in ocelot_netdevice_event()

With gcc-4.1.2:

    drivers/net/ethernet/mscc/ocelot.c: In function ‘ocelot_netdevice_event’:
    drivers/net/ethernet/mscc/ocelot.c:1129: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function

If the list iterated over by netdev_for_each_lower_dev() is empty, ret
is never initialized, and converted into a notifier return value.

Fix this by preinitializing ret to zero.

Fixes: a556c76adc052c97 ("net: mscc: Add initial Ocelot switch support")
Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@...ux-m68k.org>
---
This may be unlikely to happen, but given the notifier is called for any
(also non-ocelot) network device, better be safe than sorry.
