Hi Dan,

You are right, thanks a lot for pointing out.

I'd like to initialize 'ret = 0' at the head of function, so we can
has the same fashion with other CoreSight drivers (e.g. replicator).

 static int funnel_probe(struct device *dev, struct resource *res)
 {
-	int ret;
+	int ret = 0;

If you agree, could you send a new patch for this?

Thanks,
Leo Yan
