mana_bpf() declares an uninitialized 'ret' and falls through to a trailing 'return ret;' after a switch statement whose every case (XDP_SETUP_PROG and default) already returns unconditionally. This statement is therefore unreachable dead code left over from an earlier refactor, and it would return an uninitialized value if it were ever reached. Drop the unused variable and the unreachable return. Signed-off-by: Muhammad Falak R Wani <redacted>
## Form letter - net-next-closed net-next pull request for v7.3 has already been merged, and therefore the net-next tree is closed for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations. We are currently accepting bug fixes only. Please repost when net-next reopens after Aug 31st. RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.
