Nope, please don't blindly follow whatever the static checker reports, 
but spend sometime on the code.

In this particular case, min(ret, 0) is not really making the code any 
easier to read.

The "if (ret)" branch means, either we got a critical error (ret < 0) or 
we didn't find the dev status item

For no dev status item case, it's no big deal and we can continue 
returning 0. For fatal error case, it mostly means the device tree is 
corrupted, and we return @ret directly.

Are you really thinking we're calculating a minimal value between 0 and ret?


And I have already stated that, there is no need to CC maintainers.
Especially you didn't even bother to check who is the one pushing the 
code to Linus.

Thanks,
