The return value is checked at two source code places at least.

* ath11k_ce_recv_process_cb():
  https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.12.1/source/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/ce.c#L450

* ath11k_ce_rx_post_buf():
  https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.12.1/source/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/ce.c#L893


May the detection of a null pointer for the data structure members
“dest_ring” or “status_ring” really be interpreted as a successful execution
of the function “ath11k_ce_rx_post_pipe”?
