Subject: [PATCH] char: tpm: tpm-buf: Fix uninitialized return values in read helpers
Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2025 02:25:36 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250409205536.210202-1-purvayeshi550@gmail.com> (raw)

Fix Smatch-detected error:
drivers/char/tpm/tpm-buf.c:208 tpm_buf_read_u8() error:
uninitialized symbol 'value'.
drivers/char/tpm/tpm-buf.c:225 tpm_buf_read_u16() error:
uninitialized symbol 'value'.
drivers/char/tpm/tpm-buf.c:242 tpm_buf_read_u32() error:
uninitialized symbol 'value'.

Call tpm_buf_read() to populate value but do not check its return
status. If the read fails, value remains uninitialized, causing
undefined behavior when returned or processed.

Initialize value to zero to ensure a defined return even if
tpm_buf_read() fails, avoiding undefined behavior from using
an uninitialized variable.
