Clang static analysis reports this error
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cxd2099.c:420:2: warning: Undefined
or garbage value returned to caller
return val;
^~~~~~~~~~
In read_cam_control, the call to read_io can fail.
When it fails val is not set.
The failure status should be returned to the caller,
not the unset val.
Similar problem with read_attribute_mem

Hmm... Had you test this one on a real hardware? It is not
uncommon to have some DVB devices that would fail reading
when the firmware is on cold state.
Without testing a patch like that at a real hardware, there's
no way to know if this is intentional or if the original
developer forgot to add a check for the error.
So, at most, it could print some warning message for
non-zero return codes.
Thanks,
Mauro

No, I do not have hw. I understand your concerns, it is ok if you want to drop this patch, else i'll beef up the warnings.
