Variable ret is set to '-EINVAL' but this value is never read as it is overwritten later on, hence it is a redundant assignment and can be removed.

I don't think storing -EINVAL in ret is wrong. But maybe the "break" in the next line should better be "goto out"? AFAICS, the "break" finally leads to calling core_scsi3_alloc_aptpl_registration () despite a too long string in i_port, isid or t_port. Is this behaviour intentional? BTW: why is "initiator_sid" input handled as string? core_scsi3_alloc_aptpl_registration later calls get_unaligned_be64 for that string. I don't think this makes sense. Finally, I think there is a possible memory leak. If the input written to res_aptpl_metadata for example contains "initiator_sid=xxxxx" more than once, a previously created string isid ("isid = match_strdup(args)") is not freed before it is overwritten in the loop. The same is true for all tokens handled with match_strdup.
