In function gemini_clk_probe(), local variable "val" could
be uninitialized if function regmap_read() returns -EINVAL.
However, it will be used as index in the later context, which
could potentially be unsafe.

Ok. How did you find this? Any pointers?

There are other locations in this file where 'val' is used even if
regmap_read() fails. For example gemini_pci_recalc_rate() does this. Can
you fix all the callers in this file? Presumably nobody cares that this
API could fail in this driver because it's a thin wrapper around mmio
read that never fails. Maybe we could have a comment instead that this
is the case and then ignore this patch entirely.
