This is no longer used, so can be removed.

And if I compile this patch I get this warning:

drivers/media/usb/pvrusb2/pvrusb2-hdw.c: In function ‘ctrl_std_sym_to_val’:
drivers/media/usb/pvrusb2/pvrusb2-hdw.c:867:6: warning: unused variable ‘ret’ [-Wunused-variable]
  867 |  int ret;
      |      ^~~

Always compile-test before posting a patch :-)
