Hi Jiawen,

The out label returns 'ret', but it is not initialised here.

Reported by clang-16 as:

drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun/txgbe/txgbe_phy.c:270:6: error: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        if (interface == txgbe->interface)
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun/txgbe/txgbe_phy.c:326:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here
        return ret;
               ^~~
drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun/txgbe/txgbe_phy.c:270:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false
        if (interface == txgbe->interface)
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun/txgbe/txgbe_phy.c:268:9: note: initialize the variable 'ret' to silence this warning
        int ret, val;
               ^
                = 0
