Subject: [PATCH 6/6] firmware-qemu_fw_cfg: Move a variable assignment in
 fw_cfg_sysfs_probe()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 18 Sep 2016 14:25:55 +0200

One local variable was set to an error code before a concrete
error situation was detected. Thus move the corresponding assignment into
two if branches to indicate a software failure there.
