Subject: [PATCH] [media] pulse8-cec: avoid uninitialized data use
Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2016 10:43:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160912084403.3577996-1-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)
Building with -Wmaybe-uninitialized reveals the use on an uninitialized
variable containing the physical address of the device whenever
firmware before version 2 is used:
drivers/staging/media/pulse8-cec/pulse8-cec.c: In function 'pulse8_connect':
drivers/staging/media/pulse8-cec/pulse8-cec.c:447:2: error: 'pa' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
This sets the address to CEC_PHYS_ADDR_INVALID in this case, so we don't
try to write back the uninitialized data to the device.
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Fixes: e28a6c8b3fcc ("[media] pulse8-cec: sync configuration with adapter")
