[PATCH] drivers/base/cpu: remove redundant initialization of variable retval

From: Colin King
Date: Wed Feb 17 2021 - 14:52:39 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The variable retval is being initialized with a value that is never read
and it is being updated later with a new value. The initialization is
redundant and can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
