Subject: [PATCH v3 11/13] PCI: dwc-plat: Simplify the probe method return value handling

The whole switch-case-logic implemented in the DWC PCIe RC/EP probe
procedure doesn't seem well thought through. First of all the ret variable
is unused in the EP-case and is only partly involved in the RC-case of the
switch-case statement, which unnecessary complicates the code. Secondly
the probe method will return zero if an unknown mode is detected. That is
improbable situation since the OF-device data is initialized only with
valid modes, but such code is still wrong at least from maintainability
point of view. So let's convert the switch-case part of the probe function
to being more coherent. We suggest to use the local ret variable to
preserve the status of the case-clauses and return its value from the
probe procedure after the work is done.
