Hi, Static analysis on linux-next has found an issue in function mp2925_write_word_data with the following commit: commit b3a4efc88601cb5fc97b4ae23c478700a60302da Author: Wensheng Wang Date: Thu Sep 18 16:06:03 2025 +0800 hwmon: add MP2925 and MP2929 driver The issue is as follows: case PMBUS_VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT: case PMBUS_VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT: ret = pmbus_write_word_data(client, page, reg, (ret & ~GENMASK(11, 0)) | FIELD_PREP(GENMASK(11, 0), DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(word * MP2925_VOUT_OVUV_DIV, MP2925_VOUT_OVUV_UINT))); break; The call to pmbus_write_word_data() is accessing variable ret via the mask ~GENMASK(11, 0) however at this point ret has not been initialized so it contains a garbage value.
