Subject: libfdt: Fix use of uninitialized variable in fdt_get_path()
Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2007 14:30:16 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070831043016.GM19271@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
My recent implemenetation of fdt_get_path() had a bug - the while loop
tested offset which was unitialized on the first iteration. Depending
on code surrounding the call, this could cause fdt_get_path() to
return incorrect results.
This patch corrects the problem by applying some more correct thinking
to the loop condition.
