Subject: [PATCH] misc: tsl2550: remove redundant initialization to variable r

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

The variable r is being initialized with a value that is never
read and it is being updated later with a new value. Remove
the redundant initialization and move the declaration into a
deeper code block.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
