Subject: [PATCH] media: dvbdev: Avoid using uninitialized ret in dvb_register_device()
Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2024 09:04:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241021-dvbdev-fix-uninitialized-return-v1-1-a704945f20e5@kernel.org> (raw)

When CONFIG_DVB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is not enabled, clang warns (or errors
with CONFIG_WERROR=y):

  drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c:554:10: warning: variable 'ret' is uninitialized when used here [-Wuninitialized]
    554 |                 return ret;
        |                        ^~~

Use the return code -EINVAL directly, like the CONFIG_DVB_DYNAMIC_MINORS
block does.

Fixes: 972e63e895ab ("media: dvbdev: prevent the risk of out of memory access")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/202410201717.ULWWdJv8-lkp@intel.com/
