Subject: [PATCH] rsi_91x_usb: fix uninitialized variable
Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2018 08:13:24 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180426131324.GA982@embeddedor.com> (raw)

There is a potential execution path in which variable ret is returned
without being properly initialized previously.

Fix this by storing the value returned by function
rsi_usb_master_reg_write into _ret_.

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1468407 ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: 16d3bb7b2f37 ("rsi: disable fw watchdog timer during reset")
