Please work on simplifying & making topic more accurate.

You can drop "main.c:" and "This patch".

I don't think this patch really "removes unnecessary return". It looks
like you just dropped assignment/calculation done just before
returning value. That "using spatch tool" part is also misleading. You
don't really use that tool for removing it. More likely it was
noticed/suggested that that tool you use.

Please use commit message for describing your change and don't just
copy & paste topic. You can e.g. put into about "spatch" there
(instead of the topic).

Huh? Looks definitely wrong and I don't think it even compiles
anymore! Make sure to compile code after your change, to make sure it
does & there isn't any new warning.

Please rework your patch, *test it* and resend V2.
