MTD functions always assign the 'retlen' argument to 0 at the very
beginning - the callers do not have to do this.

I used the following semantic patch to find these places:

@@
identifier retlen;
expression a, b, c, d, e;
constant C;
type T;
@@
(
- retlen = C;
|
T
-retlen = C
+ retlen
;
)

... when != retlen
    when exists

(
mtd_read(a, b, c, &retlen, d)
|
mtd_write(a, b, c, &retlen, d)
|
mtd_panic_write(a, b, c, &retlen, d)
|
mtd_point(a, b, c, &retlen, d, e)
|
mtd_read_fact_prot_reg(a, b, c, &retlen, d)
|
mtd_write_user_prot_reg(a, b, c, &retlen, d)
|
mtd_read_user_prot_reg(a, b, c, &retlen, d)
|
mtd_writev(a, b, c, d, &retlen)
)

I ran it twice, because there were cases of double zero assigments
in mtd tests. Then I went through the patch to verify that spatch
did not find any false positives.
