From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr>

Delete unnecessary local variable whose value is always 0 and that hides
the fact that the result is always 0.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that fixes this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression ret;
expression e;
position p;
@@

-ret = 0;
... when != ret = e
return 
- ret
+ 0
  ;
// </smpl>

Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr>

Alternatively, is an error code wanted under the if?

	d_fnend(3, dev, "i2400m=%p\n", i2400m);

All the other logging messages in this file seem to have the form
(i2400m %p) = %d
or (i2400m %p) = void in the case of a function that has no return value.
I don't know if a return value is wanted here, but since the function is
exported, perhaps it is best not to change its type.

    Again, why not just "(i2400m %p) = 0\n"?

I got my "inspiration" from d_fnstart().
As i see it the whole function is void so printing a debug msg with a bogus
return value may confuse some people.
