From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Arnd Bergmann Subject: [PATCH v2] cw1200: fix bogus maybe-uninitialized warning Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2016 22:21:04 +0200 Message-ID: <20161025202121.1070879-1-arnd@arndb.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Cc: David Laight , Arnd Bergmann , Johannes Berg , linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org, netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org To: Solomon Peachy , Kalle Valo Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org On x86, the cw1200 driver produces a rather silly warning about the possible use of the 'ret' variable without an initialization presumably after being confused by the architecture specific definition of WARN_ON: drivers/net/wireless/st/cw1200/wsm.c: In function ‘wsm_handle_rx’: drivers/net/wireless/st/cw1200/wsm.c:1457:9: error: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] We have already checked that 'count' is larger than 0 here, so we know that 'ret' is initialized. Changing the 'for' loop into do/while also makes this clear to the compiler.
