If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dan Carpenter commit 69eba10e606a80665f8573221fec589430d9d1cb upstream. In olden times the snd_hda_param_read() function always set "*start_id" but in 2007 we introduced a new return and it causes uninitialized data bugs in a couple of the callers: print_codec_info() and hdmi_parse_codec().
