Just to understand this correctly: You want to discard error codes?


Basically I see four categories:

1) Getting the softc and not using it.
This can be removed completely.
Example:
   sc = ATMEGA_BUS2SC(xfer->xroot->bus);

2) calling mtx_owned() and discarding the return value.
Can be removed, too, after checking that the value is really unnecessary.
Example:
   use_polling = mtx_owned(xfer->xroot->xfer_mtx) ? 1 : 0;

3) Getting some value and not using it.
Can be removed, too, after checking that the value is really unnecessary.
Example:
   ep_no = (xfer->endpoint & UE_ADDR);

4) The rest are return values of functions, which contain error codes.
Discarding them is questionable at best.
Example: (err is not read)
     if (udev->flags.suspended) {
       err = DEVICE_SUSPEND(iface->subdev);
       device_printf(iface->subdev, "Suspend failed\n");
     }
     return (0);   /* success */
