Thanks for the patch. This has been already addressed by another patch
here, and has just been applied to linux-media master.

    media: imx334: 'ret' is uninitialized, should have been PTR_ERR()
    
    Fix this compiler warning:

    include/linux/dev_printk.h:112:2: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
