Coverity reported the following error: Assigned value that is never used may represent unnecessary computation. The rc variable was initially assigned a value but in several cases, when an error case is detected, it is reassigned a new value. The initial value had little use. In code-reviewing this routine, it could use some cleanup: - Setting the initialization value to -ENODEV is a much better choice and lessens code in the routine. - The wasn't tracking logic errors vs no error and mailbox failure. Better to resolve by adding a status to track the mailbox failure and merge it with the logic error when the routine returns.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
