The warning was because of the following line in function
liquidio_set_fec():

retval = wait_for_sc_completion_timeout(oct, sc, 0);
    if (retval)
	return (-EIO);

If this statement is not true, retval must be 0 and not updated
later. So, It is better to return 0 directly.

I presume abaci is a robot

Perhaps also the robot could look for code immediately above this like:

		oct->props[lio->ifidx].fec = var;
		if (resp->fec_setting == SEAPI_CMD_FEC_SET_RS)
			oct->props[lio->ifidx].fec = 1;
		else
			oct->props[lio->ifidx].fec = 0;

where a location is immediately overwritten.

so the line
		oct->props[lio->ifidx].fec = var;
could be highlighted and perhaps removed
and also perhaps the second test and set block could be written

		oct->props[lio->ifidx].fec = resp->fec_setting == SEAPI_CMD_FEC_SET_RS;

Maybe you can remove the rest of the 'retval' usage in this function
and even the variable itself?

Thanks.
