[PATCH] staging: r8188eu: os_dep: remove the goto statement

[Saurav Girepunje]

Remove the goto statement from rtw_init_drv_sw(). In this function goto
can be replace by return statement. As on goto label exit, function
only return it is not performing any cleanup. Avoiding goto will
improve the function readability.

Btw, this variable can be removed completely then. It's used only for:

ret8 = rtw_init_default_value(padapter);

with your patch applied, but rtw_init_default_value() always returns 
_SUCCESS.

And just `return _SUCCESS;` here.

And maybe one day s/_SUCCESS/true/ and s/_FAIL/false/
with appropriate conversions to bool

Yes this is another improvement possible on this function.

Not just this function, globally in the driver.

I think rtw_init_default_value should return void. It's return value is not useful.

Sure, but you need to firstly remove
`ret8 = rtw_init_default_value(padapter);` and then make it return bool 
to not break the build.

Intention for this patch to remove the goto statement. I think removing a local variable
for return value and changing the return type of function can be one separate patch.

On this patch intent to remove the goto statement only.

These are functions that are being called so keeping them separate as
the code you removed did makes it "obvious" what is happening here.

So can you keep it that way please?

But my larger question is do these functions create state or allocate
memory that needs to be unwound properly if an error does happen?  Right
now the function seems to not be doing that at all, but that does not
mean it is correct as-is...

thanks,
