Subject: [for-next][PATCH 08/12] bootconfig: Fix missing return check of xbc_node_compose_key function

From: Julio Faracco <jcfaracco@...il.com>

The function `xbc_show_list should` handle the keys during the
composition. Even the errors returned by the compose function. Instead
of removing the `ret` variable, it should save the value and show the
exact error. This missing variable is causing a compilation issue also.
