Personally, I generally prefer keeping these types of variables, because
they make future changes on the code easier. For example, adding a new
call where you need to check the return value, or having to deal with
the error value right there. Or just adding ad hoc debug logging of the
return value.

Related, but not exactly the same, see commit b784c7707502
("coccinnelle: Remove ptr_ret script"). Adding Cc's from that commit for
input.

BR,
Jani.
