Subject: [PATCH] qed: remove redundant assignment to variable 'rc'

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The variable 'rc' is being assigned a value that is never read
and it is being updated later with a new value. The assignment
is redundant and can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
