Subject: [PATCH] backlight: lp855x: fix unintialized function return
Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2023 15:15:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230811131600.2380519-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
The function now returns an error code in some cases, but fails to initialize
it in others:
drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c:252:11: error: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
else if (lp->mode == REGISTER_BASED)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c:256:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here
return ret;
^~~
drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c:252:7: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
else if (lp->mode == REGISTER_BASED)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since this case should not actually happen, return the -EINVAL code.
Fixes: 5145531be5fba ("backlight: lp855x: Catch errors when changing brightness")
