Subject: [PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: stm32-quadspi: avoid unintialized return code
Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2017 14:38:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <da56f3dc-bbf8-748e-fabd-1874cf596bfd@st.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170914110709.3591691-1-arnd@arndb.de>

hi Arnd

thx Arnd for compilation warning (gcc <= 4.6)

Acked-by: Ludovic Barre <ludovic.barre@st.com>

PS: at runtime stm32_qspi_tx_poll can't be call,
because stm32_qspi_tx check if there is tx data available
	if (!cmd->tx_data)
		return 0;
