ret is used only in isdn_v110_stat_callback()::case ISDN_STAT_BSENT.
It's possible for it to be unused only if passed c->parm.length is 0.
Do you see codepaths that can do it?

initializing ret with the value zero is correct and should be 
done.

No, I don't see any codepaths that could lead to it being used uninitialized. 
I made the patch for two reasons;  1) To silence the warning, and I
guess it's simply the right thing to do.   2) To make sure the code
behaves in a resonably sane way in case the situation
c->parm.length==0 should somehow happen in the future.

This is OK. Even if the codepath is never executed in a way that ret might
be used uninitialized it does not harm to set ret = 0.

Thank you for your feedback and for signing off on the patch. I'll
forward it to Andrew for inclusion in -mm.
