Does this actually compile? The compiler should detect that ret is
used uninitialized. Setting it to 0 at declaration time actually
prevents compiler from doing that and makes it impossible to catch
cases when the ret should actually be non-zero, e.g. the invalid enum
value case.

Given that this function is supposed to substitute existing calls into
qcom_scm_set_remote_state(), why not just do something like this:

        if (qcom_scm_is_available())
                return qcom_scm_set_remote_state(state, 0);

        switch (state) {
        case TZBSP_VIDEO_SUSPEND:
                writel_relaxed(1, reg_base + WRAPPER_A9SS_SW_RESET);
                break;
        case TZBSP_VIDEO_RESUME:
                venus_reset_hw(core);
                break;
        }

        return 0;
