This change as commit 03fbb903c8bf ("i2c: at91: use dma safe buffers")
causes the following clang warning:

drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-at91-master.c:707:6: error: variable 'dma_buf' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        if (dev->use_dma) {
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-at91-master.c:717:27: note: uninitialized use occurs here
        i2c_put_dma_safe_msg_buf(dma_buf, m_start, !ret);
                                 ^~~~~~~
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-at91-master.c:707:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
        if (dev->use_dma) {
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-at91-master.c:659:13: note: initialize the variable 'dma_buf' to silence this warning
        u8 *dma_buf;
                   ^
                    = NULL
1 error generated.

Should this variable be initialized or should the call to
i2c_put_dma_safe_msg_buf() be moved into the if statement?

Cheers,
Nathan
