Subject: [PATCH] staging: pi433: prevent uninitialized data from being printed out
Date: Sat, 26 Feb 2022 17:25:31 +1300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Yhmruyr2BUn0+3O3@mail.google.com> (raw)

local_buffer is not initialised before data is passed to
spi_sync_transfer. In case spi* function fails then the dev_dbg
statement after that can potentially print out uninitialised data

this patch initialises local_buffer array.
