Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: mos7720: improve handling of a kmalloc failure in read_mos_reg()
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2021 14:09:04 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210111220904.1035957-1-trix@redhat.com> (raw)

From: Tom Rix <trix@redhat.com>

clang static analysis reports this problem

mos7720.c:352:2: warning: Undefined or garbage value returned to caller
        return d;
        ^~~~~~~~

In the parport_mos7715_read_data()'s call to read_mos_reg(), 'd' is
only set after the alloc block.

	buf = kmalloc(1, GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!buf)
		return -ENOMEM;

Although the problem is reported in parport_most7715_read_data(),
none of the callee's of read_mos_reg() check the return status.

So move the clearing of data to before the malloc.
