Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [media] c8sectpfe: forward err instead of returning an uninitialized variable

When load_c8sectpfe_fw_step1() tests whether the return value of
request_firmware_nowait(), stored in variable err, indicates an error,
it then returns the value hold by uninitialized variable ret, which
seems incorrect.

Fix this by forwarding the error returned by request_firmware_nowait()
to the caller of load_c8sectpfe_fw_step1().
