Thank you for clarifying the proper usage of the Fixes tag. I understand now that it should only be applied when there is an actual fix to functionality. I will ensure to use it correctly in future submissions.

Thanks a lot!

Removed Unneeded variable: "ret"

A Fixes tag is not for patches that don't fix some functionality.

Should just drop the return value entirely, since it is
always zero.
