#1366457 — [PATCH] rtl8xxxu: fix uninitialized return value in ret

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

several functions are not initializing a return status in ret
resulting in garbage to be returned instead of 0 for success.
Currently, the calls to these functions are not checking the
return, however, it seems prudent to return the correct status
in case they are to be checked at a later date.

Thanks for the patch! I'm surprised the compiler didn't warn about this.

I'll add it to my queue for rtl8xxxu.

Cheers,
Jes
