Perhaps there is no point to jumping to the label if there is nothing to
do there.
The code contains other strange things, like:
if (status) {
ret = -EFAULT;
goto _r871x_mp_ioctl_hdl_exit;
}
_r871x_mp_ioctl_hdl_exit:
Overall, it would be nice to see if the code could be reorganized so that
there is only a goto if there is something to do to cleanup, so that
return ret would only be executed in an error case, and so that the code
would return 0 directly on success.
