Subject: [PATCH] media: hdpvr: remove redundant assignment to retval

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

Variable retval is initialized to a value that is never read
so this assignment is redundant.  Clean up the code by removing
retval completely and just return the error return from the
call to i2c_add_adapter.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
