Subject: [PATCH] net: ethernet: ax88796: initialize all fields of eeprom_93cx6 struct
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 10:34:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724083411.8562-1-stf_xl@wp.pl> (raw)

From: Stanislaw Gruszka <stf_xl@wp.pl>

Commit 7738a7ab9d12 ("misc: eeprom: eeprom_93cx6: Add quirk for extra
read clock cycle") added extra 'quirk' field to struct eeprom_93cx6,
which change how the data is read.

Some existing users of eeprom_93cx6, including ax88796 driver, allocate
the structure on the stack without initialization of all the fields.
As a result, the added quirk field has undefined value, what can
randomly cause reading wrong data from the EEPROM.

Fix by using designated initialization.

Fixes: 7738a7ab9d12 ("misc: eeprom: eeprom_93cx6: Add quirk for extra read clock cycle")
