Subject: [PATCH] scsi: snic: remove redundant assignment to variable ret

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

Variable ret is being assigned with a value that is never read as
there is return statement immediately afterwards.  The assignment
is redundant and hence can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
