Again, your change is correct, but in the end the value is not used.
And if you fix it at the cas_alloc_rxds level, you also need a fix at
the next level up:

	err = -ENOMEM;
	if (cas_tx_tiny_alloc(cp) < 0)
		goto err_unlock;

	/* alloc rx descriptors */
	if (cas_alloc_rxds(cp) < 0)
		goto err_tx_tiny;

again, the return value is discarded.
