| Series | pinctrl: madera: Fix uninitialized variable issue in madera_mux_set_mux | expand |
Hi Charles, > I don't believe this would fully address the issue since if you > initialise ret to -1 you will still drop into the if statement > and you will use the reg variable which should also be > uninitialised on that code path. > > Feels like initialising to 0 would probably be better anyway > since the code path looks like the case were you have n_pins == 0 > and nothing really failed in that case just nothing needed to be > done. > You're right. I got confused with another similar issue I fixed, recently. I'll send v2 shortly. Thanks for the feedback. -- Gustavo

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 -1.
