Subject: [PATCH] drivers/char/random.c: fix uninitialized value warning
Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2018 10:11:52 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180718071152.13265-1-const@MakeLinux.com> (raw)

Local variable t should be initialized by arch_get_random_int.
Actually on failure of arch_get_random_int, value is not used.
So, just keep the build clean with less warnings.

warning:
drivers/char/random.c: In function ‘write_pool.constprop’:
drivers/char/random.c:1912:11: warning: ‘t’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
