As reported on: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20190627222020.45909-1-willemdebruijn.kernel@xxxxxxxxx/ if gp8psk_usb_in_op() returns an error, the status var is not initialized. Yet, this var is used later on, in order to identify: - if the device was already started; - if firmware has loaded; - if the LNBf was powered on. Using status = 0 seems to ensure that everything will be properly powered up. So, instead of the proposed solution, let's just set status = 0.
