ret is not initialized so it contains garbage. Ensure garbage
is not returned in the case that pdata && pdata->teardown is false
by initializing ret to 0.

G'day Linus,
I believe this does the same as Arnd Bergmanns patch from 26 Aug.
[PATCH 1/5] gpio: pca954x: fix undefined error code from remove
IMO Colin's is the cleaner solution.
Arnd's could be removed.

Please try to avoid adding initializations in the local variable
declaration, they just hide otherwise useful warnings when
you get a function that actually does something incorrect
in some code paths.

Agreed, sorry for my ignorance :(
I duly corrected the git and reverted the other patch instead of yours.
