This patch merges an assignment with an immediately following return of
the assigned variable. The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used
to make this transformation:
@@
expression ret;
identifier f;
@@
-ret =
+return
f(...);
-return ret;
A variable that became unused due to this transformation was also removed.
