Subject: [PATCH] drm/msm/dpu: avoid uninitialized variable use
Date: Thu,  7 Aug 2025 09:19:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250807072016.4109051-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

clang-21 points out a variable that is conditionally initialized
but then dereferenced:

drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_plane.c:1138:6: error: variable 'crtc_state' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
 1138 |         if (plane_state->crtc)
      |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_plane.c:1142:58: note: uninitialized use occurs here
 1142 |         ret = dpu_plane_atomic_check_nosspp(plane, plane_state, crtc_state);
      |                                                                 ^~~~~~~~~~
drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_plane.c:1138:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
 1138 |         if (plane_state->crtc)
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 1139 |                 crtc_state = drm_atomic_get_new_crtc_state(state,
drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_plane.c:1132:35: note: initialize the variable 'crtc_state' to silence this warning
 1132 |         struct drm_crtc_state *crtc_state;
      |                                          ^
      |                                           = NULL

The bug is real, but the suggestion from clang to set it to NULL is
unfortunately just as harmful as dereferencing a NULL pointer is little
better than uninitialized data.

Change the function to return an error in this case.
