I assume it's the
msg.flags |= I2C_M_RD;
line that is warned about (please include such info)? Isn't the right
fix to replace that by
msg.flags = I2C_M_RD;
?

Two lines("struct i2c msg;" and "msg.flags |= I2C_M_RD") are warned by build system. Initializing msg variable will be better.

What? That doesn't make sense. Perhaps your compiler is just friendly
enough to show you the declaration of the struct i2c_msg, but clearly
declaring an automatic variable without initializing it is not, by
itself, wrong. Otherwise "int ret;" in that very same function should be
warned about, and 100000 other instances in any code base written in C.
Please show the exact output from the compiler and the compiler version.

No, understanding the cause of the warning and fixing that is clearly
better.

Sorry, acctually not build system. It's code analysis tool.
Such as:
Declaring variable msg without initializer. (struce i2c_msg msg;)
Uninitialized scalar variable (UNINIT), uninit_use: Using uninitialized value msg.flags.(msg.flags |= I2C_M_RD)

Can you please update subject or description stating that you are fixing issue reported by static analysis tool coverity
