Oh right. In this case, using "break" statement is enough. I will send
the v2 of the patch. Maybe something like this:

if (!object->ops->dispatch) {
ret = -EINVAL;
break;
}

and then remove the "out" label.

I want to confirm first, if I changed the patch using "break" statement,
do I need to add "Reviewed-by" tag in the v2 of the patch or not? I am
still not sure when to add "Reviewed-by" tag, like can we add
"Reviewed-by" tag when we changed the patch?

Thank you.
