Subject: [PATCH] media: s5p-mfc: Always pass NULL to s5p_mfc_cmd_host2risc_v6()
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2025 15:13:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250715-media-s5p-mfc-fix-uninit-const-pointer-v1-1-4d52b58cafe9@kernel.org> (raw)
A new warning in clang [1] points out a few places in s5p_mfc_cmd_v6.c
where an uninitialized variable is passed as a const pointer:
drivers/media/platform/samsung/s5p-mfc/s5p_mfc_cmd_v6.c:45:7: error: variable 'h2r_args' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]
45 | &h2r_args);
| ^~~~~~~~
drivers/media/platform/samsung/s5p-mfc/s5p_mfc_cmd_v6.c:133:7: error: variable 'h2r_args' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]
133 | &h2r_args);
| ^~~~~~~~
drivers/media/platform/samsung/s5p-mfc/s5p_mfc_cmd_v6.c:148:7: error: variable 'h2r_args' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]
148 | &h2r_args);
| ^~~~~~~~
The args parameter in s5p_mfc_cmd_host2risc_v6() is never actually used,
so just pass NULL to it in the places where h2r_args is currently
passed, clearing up the warning and not changing the functionality of
the code.

From what I can tell, it seems like ->cmd_host2risc() is only ever
called from v6 code, which always passes NULL? It seems like it should
be possible to just drop .cmd_host2risc on the v5 side, then update
.cmd_host2risc to only take two parameters? If so, I can send a follow
up as a clean up, so that this can go back relatively conflict free.
