Ok, have a look at the below, pls, and lemme know if that's ok too.

mbm_config_write_domain() only returns 0 so it can be void. So the
callsite doesn't need to check retval either.

Thx.

Subject: [PATCH] x86/resctrl: Remove redundant variable in
 mbm_config_write_domain()

The kernel test robot reported the following warning after

  54e35eb8611c ("x86/resctrl: Read supported bandwidth sources from CPUID").

even though the issue is present even in the original patch which added
this function

  92bd5a139033 ("x86/resctrl: Add interface to write mbm_total_bytes_config")

  $ make C=1 CHECK=scripts/coccicheck arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/rdtgroup.o
  ...
  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/rdtgroup.c:1621:5-8: Unneeded variable: "ret". Return "0" on line 1655

Remove the local variable 'ret'.

  [ bp: Massage commit message, make mbm_config_write_domain() void. ]

Fixes: 92bd5a139033 ("x86/resctrl: Add interface to write mbm_total_bytes_config")
