This does not appear to be entirely accurate to me.

Do you know what analysis Clang is doing?  Is it limited to the function 
itself?

remap_pfn_range, which initializes ret, will always run at-least once.

Feels more accurate to say that Clang cannot detect that ret will be 
initialized, and we want to quiet the warning from the false positive.
