It's all right, assign PTR_ERR() to 'ret' anyway.No it does not. It adds unnecessary brackets.
But this assignment is valid only at the "IS_ERR()" path.
Maybe it is better put "PTR_ERR()" at error path, keep the code clear.
It is common in the kernel to have:
ret = ERROR;
if (some_condition())
goto out;
ret = ERROR1;
if (some_other_condition())
goto out;
ret = ERROR2;
if (some_new_condition())
goto out;
ret = 0;
out:
return ret;
And your change breaks this.
