Subject: [PATCH v2] pinctrl: madera: Fix uninitialized variable bug in madera_mux_set_mux
Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2018 17:13:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181010151313.GA16854@embeddedor.com> (raw)

There is a potential execution path in which variable *ret* is checked
in an IF statement, and then its value is used to report an error at
line 659 without being properly initialized previously:

659 if (ret)
660	dev_err(priv->dev, "Failed to write to 0x%x (%d)\n", reg, ret);

Fix this by initializing variable *ret* to 0 in order to
avoid unpredictable or unintended results.

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1471969 ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: 218d72a77b0b ("pinctrl: madera: Add driver for Cirrus Logic Madera codecs")
Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@embeddedor.com>

Changes in v2:
 - Initialize variable ret to 0 instead of -1. Thanks to Charles Keepax
   for pointing this out.
 - Update subject and commit log.
