Subject: [PATCH] usb: c67x00: fix uninitialized data access
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 14:45:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002124558.3495203-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Randconfig builds for s390 using gcc-10.5 revealed that the
c67x00_ll_husb_init_host_port() writes bogus data into the
registers:
drivers/usb/c67x00/c67x00-ll-hpi.c: In function 'c67x00_ll_husb_init_host_port':
drivers/usb/c67x00/c67x00-ll-hpi.c:288:3: error: '*(u16 *)((char *)&data+-452)' is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
288 | hpi_write_word(dev, COMM_R(i), data->regs[i]);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have not seen this error before, but the compiler is clearly correct
and the bug has been in the driver since it was added in 2008.
This particular build has CONFIG_INIT_STACK_NONE=y and CONFIG_UBSAN=y,
but I don't think that alone is sufficient to find the bug.
Change this to write zeroes instead, which may still not be what
is intended but at least avoids the undefined behavior and the
warning about it.
Fixes: e9b29ffc519b ("USB: add Cypress c67x00 OTG controller HCD driver")
