Subject: [PATCH] gpu, drm, sis: Don't return uninitialized variable from
 sis_driver_load()

In sis_driver_load(), the only use of 'ret' is as the return value
from the function, unfortunately it is never initialized, so the
function just returns garbage when it succeeds.
To fix that, remove the variable and just return 0 directly on success.

 I don't have hardware to test, so it has only been compile tested.
