Variable ret is set to zero but this value is never read as it is
overwritten with a new value later on, hence it is a redundant
assignment and can be removed.

Cleans up the following clang-analyzer warning:

drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/t4_hw.c:3830:2: warning: Value stored
to 'ret' is never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores].

Thanks for reporting this. However, the return value of
t4_set_params_timeout() needs to be handled and can not be ignored. Will
send a patch to fix the issue soon.
