Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: Fix fallback logic to use firmware's canonical path

From: Tom Rix <trix@...hat.com>

Static analysis reports this problem
firmware.c:709:6: warning: Branch condition evaluates to a garbage value
        if (ret) {
            ^~~

In brcmf_fw_get_firmwares(), ret is only set if the alt_path control
flow is taken.  Initialize ret to -1, so the canonical path is taken
if alt_path is not.

Fixes: 5ff013914c62 ("brcmfmac: firmware: Allow per-board firmware binaries")
