Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: remove redundant error check

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The check on ret for an error is redundant because it is already been
checked for non-zero earlier on and ret is never non-zero at this point.
Fix this by removing the redundant check and error message.
