The compiler is not smart enough to figure out that ret will always
be assiged a value in the while loop. Explicitly init ret, fixing:

drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c: In function ‘i2c_generic_scl_recovery’:
drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c:235:5: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  235 |  if (ret == -EOPNOTSUPP)
      |     ^

Wouldn't it be proper to file a bug report with your compiler then?

Giving the complexity of the while-loop and the conditions under which
ret are set, no I don't think this is a compiler bug.

Note I'm seeing this with gcc-9.0.1, I've no idea why earlier gcc
versions did not hit this.

Regards,

Hans

gcc (Debian 9.3.0-10) 9.3.0 currently here. I never noticed this
warning. Do you still see it? Maybe it was just because of the early 9.0
version?
