Subject: char: misc: Rename a local variable in misc_init()
X-Git-Tag: v6.17-rc1~178^2~42
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=626e89412dfb88766d90d842af4d9ec432d8526f;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

char: misc: Rename a local variable in misc_init()

Local variable @ret is not used for return value in misc_init().

Give it a different name @misc_proc_file.
