With CONFIG_PPC_KERNEL_PCREL enabled, build breaks with below error:

   CC      mm/dmapool.o
   CC      fs/readdir.o
arch/powerpc/net/bpf_jit_comp64.c: In function 'bpf_jit_emit_func_call_rel': arch/powerpc/net/bpf_jit_comp64.c:475:13: error: unused variable 'ret' [-Werror=unused-variable]
   475 |         int ret;
       |             ^~~

commit b55b6b9ad76c ("powerpc64/bpf: Add powerpc64 JIT support for timed may_goto") introduced "ret" variable to bpf_jit_emit_func_call_rel() and it is used only in
else block of CONFIG_PPC_KERNEL_PCREL, fix by adding a "__maybe_unused"

__maybe_unused doesn't fix the problem, it just hides it under the carpet.

My bad, took the precedence from reladdr, may be it is better to change that too then

ret is used at only one place, move it's declaration their:

#else
    if (core_kernel_text(func_addr)) {
        int ret = bpf_jit_emit_func_call(image, ctx, func_addr, _R12);
        if (ret)
            return ret;
    } else {
