Hi Gustavo,
I'd say the intention here was to ignore the error, as driver may still live if
something unexpected happened on Phy access path.
Notice in the above fix you leave `err` as zero but do error path return -
that'll break the datapath.
I'd prefer to fix this with simple
(void)aq_phy_init(self->aq_hw);

Regards,
Igor

I see. Please, see my comments below...

You're right. I totally missed that.

Yep. This is much better. Otherwise, both static analyzers and developers
get confused. :p
Something even better is to add both a cast and a comment explaining why
the return value is not being checked in this case (as you do above).
Thanks
