[PATCH][next] mtd: devices: mchp48l640: Fix return of uninitialized value in ret

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

In the case where the read or write lengths are zero bytes the return
value in variable ret has not been initialized and a garbage value
is returned. Fix this by initializing ret to zero.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: 88d125026753 ("mtd: devices: add support for microchip 48l640 EERAM")
