The macb_clk_init function returns three clock pointers, unless
the it fails to get the first ones. We correctly handle the
failure case by propagating the error from macb_probe, but
gcc does not realize this and incorrectly warns about a later
use of those:

In file included from /git/arm-soc/drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb.c:12:0:
drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb.c: In function 'macb_probe':
include/linux/clk.h:484:2: error: 'tx_clk' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  clk_disable(clk);
  ^
drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb.c:2822:28: note: 'tx_clk' was declared here
  struct clk *pclk, *hclk, *tx_clk;
                            ^
In file included from /git/arm-soc/drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb.c:12:0:
include/linux/clk.h:484:2: error: 'hclk' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  clk_disable(clk);
  ^
drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb.c:2822:21: note: 'hclk' was declared here
  struct clk *pclk, *hclk, *tx_clk;
                     ^

This shuts up the misleading warnings by ensuring that the
macb_clk_init() always stores something into all three pointers.

Oh, crap: actually this warning has just been fixed by Sudip Mukherjee
and is already queued by David here:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/572610/

So, sorry, I've shot too fast: NACK...

Bye,

    Hm, didn't these 2 lines get swapped by chance?
