Subject: [PATCH] iio: accel: mma9551_core: prevent using uninitialized variable
Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2018 15:25:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181210142532.15315-1-martink@posteo.de> (raw)

mma9551_gpio_config()'s switch statement sets the uninitialized pol_mask
variable but doesn't have default settings. Said function can therefore
be called in a way to use the uninitialized variable (at least in case
enum mma9551_gpio_pin is extended with unhandled values).

While things should be fine now, this initializes pol_mask just to prevent
failure.
