It looks like `rf_pwr_offset_table` is only used when `phy->rev` is >=7 && < 19. Further, the loop has a case for `phy->rev >= 19` but we would have returned earlier if that was the case. > u32 rfpwr_offset; > u8 pga_gain, pad_gain; > int i; > - const s16 *uninitialized_var(rf_pwr_offset_table); > + const s16 *rf_pwr_offset_table = NULL; > > table = b43_nphy_get_tx_gain_table(dev); > if (!table) > @@ -4256,9 +4256,13 @@ static void b43_nphy_tx_gain_table_upload(struct b43_wldev *dev) > pga_gain = (table[i] >> 24) & 0xf; > pad_gain = (table[i] >> 19) & 0x1f; > if (b43_current_band(dev->wl) == NL80211_BAND_2GHZ) > - rfpwr_offset = rf_pwr_offset_table[pad_gain]; > + rfpwr_offset = rf_pwr_offset_table > + ? rf_pwr_offset_table[pad_gain] > + : 0; > else > - rfpwr_offset = rf_pwr_offset_table[pga_gain]; > + rfpwr_offset = rf_pwr_offset_table > + ? rf_pwr_offset_table[pga_gain] > + : 0; The code is trying to check `phy->rev >= 7 && phy->rev < 19` once before the loop, then set `rf_pwr_offset_table`, so having another conditional on `rf_pwr_offset_table` in the loop is unnecessary. I'm ok with initializing it to `NULL`, but I'm not sure the conditional check is necessary.
