Subject: [PATCH] regmap: Fix 'ret' would return an uninitialized value

This patch give a warning when calling regmap_register_patch with
parameter num_regs <= 0.

When the num_regs parameter is zero and krealloc doesn't fail,
then the code would return an uninitialized value. However,
calling this function with num_regs == 0, would be a waste as it
essentially does nothing.

Seems a good approach.

The patch doesn't apply. After manually applying this it
threw a compilation error:

drivers/base/regmap/regmap.c: In function ‘regmap_register_patch’:
drivers/base/regmap/regmap.c:2176:6: error: expected expression before ‘)’ token


Cai,
You have missed the second parameter of WARN_ONCE().
Please append what you'd prefer to have outputten once the condition evaluates to true.

Cai, Levente,

Maybe this:

+       if (WARN_ONCE(num_regs <= 0, "number of registers [%d] must be
major than 0", num_regs))
+               return 0;
+

It is fine, but I think outputting num_regs is unnecessary.
Also, that line is more than 80 characters, so please wrap it.

This patch give a warning when calling regmap_register_patch with
parameter num_regs <= 0.

When the num_regs parameter is zero and krealloc doesn't fail,
then the code would return an uninitialized value. However,
calling this function with num_regs == 0, would be a waste as it

 - Fix 'ret' would return an uninitialized value.
 - Add a warning avoid invalid 'num_regs' value passed in.

When the num_regs parameter is zero and krealloc doesn't fail,
then the code would return an uninitialized value. However,
calling this function with num_regs == 0, would be a waste as it
essentially does nothing.

With the if statement below you probably don't need to do this any more.

WARN_ONCE actually returns the result of the test so you should be able
to write this as:

	if (WARN_ONCE(num_regs <= 0))
		return 0;

which is slightly neater.
