'retval' is known to be -ENODEV here.
This is a hard-coded default error code which is not useful in the error
message. Moreover, another error message is printed at the end of the
error handling path. The corresponding error code (-ENOMEM) is more
informative.
So remove simplify the first error message.
While at it, also remove the useless initialization of 'retval'.

How about moving this line before dev_err()? then could keep error log
unchanged.

Then the error message would print misleading information. The
usb_create_hcd() does not return -ENOMEM, it returns NULL.

Mostly a matter of taste.
I don't think it add any useful information (this is not something
coming from a call chain or that can have different values, it is just a
hard-coded constant) and the line after we will already have:
dev_err(dev, "init %s fail, %d\n", dev_name(dev), retval);
where retval = -ENOMEM
So the -ENOMEM error code is already reported.
Moreover, having error code reported or not is already not consistent in
the function. For example "failed to enable PCLK\n" where 'retval' could
be reported as well.
BTW, is it useful to have 'dev_name(dev)' in a dev_err?

dev_err(dev, ...) itself will print it.
