The exact issue description reported by checkpatch.pl was 

"CHECK: Alignment should match open parenthesis"

To resolve that issue tried by reducing the leading tabs before
wilc_del_allstations() call, which helped in resolving checkpatch
issue without introducing line over 80 chars.

Thanks for your suggestion.
Currently the patch is accepted, i will check and try to include it in

The value for 'ret' is zero till this point, only if there is
failure to post the command in wilc_eneque_cmd() then 'ret' receives
