Subject: [PATCH] net: usb: ax88179_178a: remove redundant assignment to variable ret

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

The variable ret is being initializeed with a value that is never read
and it is being updated later with a new value. The initialization
is redundant and can be removed.
