If you're going to make a change like this, I say go all the way:

	/* set DAI format */
	switch (format & SND_SOC_DAIFMT_FORMAT_MASK) {
	case SND_SOC_DAIFMT_I2S:
	case SND_SOC_DAIFMT_LEFT_J:
		cs4270->mode = format & SND_SOC_DAIFMT_FORMAT_MASK;
		break;
	default:
		dev_err(codec->dev, "invalid dai format\n");
		return -EINVAL;
	}

	/* set master/slave audio interface */
	switch (format & SND_SOC_DAIFMT_MASTER_MASK) {
	case SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBS_CFS:
		cs4270->slave_mode = 1;
		break;
	case SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBM_CFM:
		cs4270->slave_mode = 0;
		break;
	default:
		/* all other modes are unsupported by the hardware */
---> also add an error message here
		return -EINVAL;
	}

	return 0;

Then you can delete local variable 'ret' altogether.
