Subject: [PATCH] media: cx23885: remove redundant assignment to err

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

The variable err is assigned with a value that is never read and
it is re-assigned a new value later on.  The assignment is redundant
and can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
