Subject: [PATCH] clocksource: kona: avoid bogus warning
Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2016 22:40:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1465850461-3533361-1-git-send-email-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)

I could not figure out why, but gcc cannot prove that the
kona_timer_init function always initializes its two outputs,
and we get a warning for the use of the 'lsw' variable later,
which is obviously correct.

drivers/clocksource/bcm_kona_timer.c: In function 'kona_timer_init':
drivers/clocksource/bcm_kona_timer.c:119:13: error: 'lsw' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

Slightly reordering the loop makes the warning disappear, after
it becomes more obvious to the compiler that the loop is
always entered on the first iteration.
