Move the jump label directly before the desired log statement
so that the variable "ret" will not be checked once more
after it was determined that a function call failed.

Why not avoid both unnecessary ifs

I would find such a fine-tuning also nice in principle at more source code places.

and the enormous ugliness of a label inside an if by making two returns:
a return 0 for success and a dev_dbg and return ret for failure?

How should your suggestion finally work when the desired execution success
can be determined for such functions only after several other calls succeeded?

Not idea what this means, but immediate return 0 followed by various code
for reacting to an error is very common, so it looks like it should be
possible here.
