Subject: tuner-core.c:fe_has_signal() can returne uninitialized value
Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2007 19:51:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071014175159.GO4211@stusta.de> (raw)

Commit 1f5ef19779df2c2f75870332b37dd3004c08a515 added the following 
function to drivers/media/video/tuner-core.c:

<--  snip  -->

static int fe_has_signal(struct tuner *t)
{
        struct dvb_tuner_ops *fe_tuner_ops = &t->fe.ops.tuner_ops;
        u16 strength;

        if (fe_tuner_ops->get_rf_strength)
                fe_tuner_ops->get_rf_strength(&t->fe, &strength);

        return strength;
}

<--  snip  -->


If (!fe_tuner_ops->get_rf_strength) this function returns the value of 
an uninitialized variable.

Spotted by the Coverity checker.
