Subject: [patch] regulator: lp3971: Silence uninitialized variable warning
Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2016 12:34:41 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160414093441.GF16549@mwanda> (raw)

This is harmless but if lp3971_i2c_read() fails then "tmp" can be
uninitialized.  Silence the warning by moving the error handling up a
line.
