Subject: [PATCH 1/1] fpga: dfl: Fix dead store

From: Tom Rix <trix@...hat.com>

Using clang's scan-build/view this issue was flagged in fpga-mgr.c

  drivers/fpga/fpga-mgr.c:585:3: warning: Value stored to 'ret' is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
                  ret = id;

A similar issue was flagged in fpga-bridge.

So remove the unused stores.
