This doesn't reduce code complexity at all. You've made this error different from every other error handled by this function because now it returns directly instead of jumping to 'out:'. I can't understand your explanation, and at first glance I'm not even sure this patch is correct. Definitely not a simplification, so NAK with this justification. The patch might be correct, but it'll need a lot better prose than this.
