The return value of qat_hal_rd_ae_csr() is always a CSR value and never a status and should not be stored in the status variable of qat_hal_put_rel_rd_xfer(). This removes the assignment as qat_hal_rd_ae_csr() is not expected to fail. A more comprehensive handling of the theoretical corner case which could result in a fail will be submitted in a separate patch.
