Subject: [PATCH 1/2] staging: wfx: fix use of uninitialized pointer
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2020 18:06:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201019160604.1609180-1-Jerome.Pouiller@silabs.com> (raw)

From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@silabs.com>

With -Wuninitialized, the compiler complains:

drivers/staging/wfx/data_tx.c:34:19: warning: variable 'band' is uninitialized when used here [-Wuninitialized]
    if (rate->idx >= band->n_bitrates) {
                         ^~~~

Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>

Fixes: 868fd970e187 ("staging: wfx: improve robustness of wfx_get_hw_rate()")
