Not sure I fully understand how that fixes it. Given that ret is
currently not initialized when we hit:

	 if (ov02a10->streaming == on)
		goto unlock_and_return;

either we initialize ret to 0 at the start of the function, or do:
	
	 if (ov02a10->streaming == on) {
		ret = 0;
		goto unlock_and_return;
	}

(assuming the intention is to return zero for this specific case).
