Subject: [PATCH] mfd: madera: work around false-positive -Wininitialized warning
Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2025 09:19:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250807071932.4085458-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
clang-21 warns about one uninitialized variable getting dereferenced
in madera_dev_init:
drivers/mfd/madera-core.c:739:10: error: variable 'mfd_devs' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
739 | mfd_devs, n_devs,
| ^~~~~~~~
drivers/mfd/madera-core.c:459:33: note: initialize the variable 'mfd_devs' to silence this warning
459 | const struct mfd_cell *mfd_devs;
| ^
| = NULL
The code is actually correct here because n_devs is only nonzero
when mfd_devs is a valid pointer, but this is impossible for the
compiler to see reliably.
Change the logic to check for the pointer as well, to make this easier
for the compiler to follow.
