Subject: [PATCH] spi: fsl-lpspi: Pre-initialize ret in fsl_lpspi_transfer_one_msg()

With gcc 4.1.2:

    drivers/spi/spi-fsl-lpspi.c: In function ‘fsl_lpspi_transfer_one_msg’:
    drivers/spi/spi-fsl-lpspi.c:369: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function

If the message contains no transfers, the function will set the
message's status to an uninitialized value, and will return that
uninitialized value.

While __spi_validate() should have been called in all paths leading to
this, and thus have rejected such messages, we better pre-initialize ret
to be safe for future modifications (spi_transfer_one_message() also
does this).
