drivers/net/ethernet/apm/xgene/xgene_enet_sgmac.c: In function ‘xgene_enet_ecc_init’:
drivers/net/ethernet/apm/xgene/xgene_enet_sgmac.c:126: warning: ‘data’ may be used uninitialized in this function

Depending on the arbitrary value on the stack, the loop may terminate
too early, and cause a bogus -ENODEV failure.

v2: Rewrite the loop instead of pre-initializing data.

I hate to be a pest, but like the other patch of your's I think
a do { } while() works best here because the intent is clearly
to run the loop at least once, right?

I wanted to avoid checking for "data != ~0U" twice: once to abort the loop,
and once to check if a timeout happened.

Yes, that would work to.

Feel free to do s/for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)/do/ and s/}/} while (++i < 10);/
