Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: Remove redundant initialization of variable err
Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2021 13:34:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211015123447.27560-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

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

The variable err is being initialized with a value that is never read, it
is being updated later on. The assignment is redundant and can be removed
and move the declaration into the local scope.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
