From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The retval status checks in the proceeding do loop return out of function ms_read_attritbute_info if there is an error condition, thus we never reach the end of the loop with retval failed status. Therefore, the retval status check at end of the do loop is redundant and can be removed.
