Just a bikeshed, IMO, it'd be more proper to initialize err at the
beginning than setting 0 at every branch, e.g.

--- a/sound/firewire/amdtp-stream.c
+++ b/sound/firewire/amdtp-stream.c

-	int err;
+	int err = 0;
 
 	payload_length = be32_to_cpu(ctx_header[0]) >> ISO_DATA_LENGTH_SHIFT;

 		*data_blocks = payload_length / sizeof(__be32) / s->data_block_quadlets;
 		*syt = 0;
