Subject: [patch] backlight: lp855x_bl: silence a compiler warning
Date: Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:39:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120201143910.GA5359@elgon.mountain> (raw)

Gcc 4.6.2 complains that "end" can be used without being initialized:

drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c: In function ‘lp855x_init_registers’:
drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c:78:32: warning: ‘end’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c:67:12: note: ‘end’ was declared here

I've modified the function to return invalid if we don't recognize the
id string.
