The initial value assigned to the variable is simply returned to the caller. This makes the variable declaration unnecessary and the initial value can be directly returned. Following table lists the initial commits when the variables were first introduced but have not been used since inception: Variable Function File Inception Commit ret rtw_sta_flush r8188eu/core/rtw_ap.c [1] ret amsdu_to_msdu r8188eu/core/rtw_recv.c [2] ret rtw_p2p_set r8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c [3] [1] 'commit 9a7fe54ddc3a ("staging: r8188eu: Add source files for new drive= r - part 1")' [2] 'commit 1cc18a22b96b ("staging: r8188eu: Add files for new driver - par= t 5")' [3] 'commit a2c60d42d97c ("staging: r8188eu: Add files for new driver - par= t 16")' However, local variable pull of the function update_txdesc from file r8188eu/hal/rtl8188eu_xmit.c was in use prior to introduction of commit ID [4] 7bdedfef085bb65. The clean-up associated with this commit left the variable pull redundant. [4] 'commit 7bdedfef085b ("staging: r8188eu: Remove mp, a.k.a. manufacturin= g process, code")' The patch is produced using the following coccicheck options: COCCI=3D./scripts/coccinelle/misc/returnvar.cocci M=3Ddriver/staging/r8188eu/ MODE=3Dpatch Signed-off-by: Deepak R Varma --- Changes in v2: 1. Include reason for why the variable declarations are not useful.
