From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> commit d0ac1a26ed5943127cb0156148735f5f52a07075 upstream. As reported on: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20190627222020.45909-1-willemdebruijn.ke... if gp8psk_usb_in_op() returns an error, the status var is not initialized. Yet, this var is used later on, in order to identify: - if the device was already started; - if firmware has loaded; - if the LNBf was powered on. Using status = 0 seems to ensure that everything will be properly powered up. So, instead of the proposed solution, let's just set status = 0.
