From: Tanya Agarwal <tanyaagarwal25699@xxxxxxxxx> Improve error handling in sw842_compress() for add_repeat_template(). Note that this error case is already properly handled later in other add_repeat_template() function calls. CID 1309755: (#1 of 1): Unused value (UNUSED_VALUE) returned_value: Assigning value from add_repeat_template(p, repeat_count) to ret here, but that stored value is overwritten before it can be used.
