Subject: [PATCH v2] selftests/alsa: missing a return value in unused dump_config_tree()

dump_config_tree() is declared to return an int, but the compiler cannot
prove that it always returns any value at all. This leads to a clang
warning, when building via:

make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests

Furthermore, Mark Brown noticed that dump_config_tree() isn't even used
anymore, so just delete the entire function.

This function is nice for debugging. I'd prefer to keep it with the fix.

I'm find in either way; just submit a fix patch, then.

The fix was already submitted as v1, I noticed that the function was
unused in review.

It's generally considered a best practice to delete unused code. If
there is something you especially like for upcoming code, you still
have git history, and even a lore.kernel.org link, to bookmark it.

So I'd recommend going with v2, but of course it's your call! :)
