[PATCH] backlight: lp855x: fix unintialized function return

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

The function now returns an error code in some cases, but fails to initialize
it in others:

drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c:252:11: error: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        else if (lp->mode == REGISTER_BASED)
                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c:256:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here
        return ret;
               ^~~
drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c:252:7: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
        else if (lp->mode == REGISTER_BASED)
             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since this case should not actually happen, return the -EINVAL code.
