Subject: [PATCH 3/3] auxdisplay: img-ascii-lcd: Silence 2 uninitialized warnings
Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2018 17:09:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180219160956.6uky4zxlnn5kas2t@gmail.com> (raw)

The warnings are:

  drivers/auxdisplay/img-ascii-lcd.c: warning: 'err' may be used
  uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]

At lines 109 and 207. Reported by Geert using the build service
several times, e.g.:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/19/303

They are two false positives, since num_chars > 0 in the three present
configurations (boston, malta, sead3). Initializing to an error state by
default silences the warning and makes the code print an error in case a
num_chars == 0 happens in the future (unlikely, since it does not make
sense currently).

The warnings seem to disappear starting with gcc >= 4.9

I will queue it up for 4.17.
