[PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: rename 'status' variable to 'ret' for consistency

[Omer El Idrissi]

The kernel commonly uses 'ret', 'retval', 'err' etc. for return value
tracking. No functional change intended beyond style and error handling
improvement.

I think the code is fine as is.

status is actually better because these are non-standard error codes.
First fix that, then rename the variables to ret.
