Subject: [PATCH 5.15] i3c: fix uninitialized variable use in i2c setup
Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2026 16:19:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260418231928.994943-1-nathan@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Jamie Iles <quic_jiles@quicinc.com>

commit 6cbf8b38dfe3aabe330f2c356949bc4d6a1f034f upstream.

Commit 31b9887c7258 ("i3c: remove i2c board info from i2c_dev_desc")
removed the boardinfo from i2c_dev_desc to decouple device enumeration from
setup but did not correctly lookup the i2c_dev_desc to store the new
device, instead dereferencing an uninitialized variable.

Lookup the device that has already been registered by address to store
the i2c client device.

Fixes: 31b9887c7258 ("i3c: remove i2c board info from i2c_dev_desc")

This fixes the previously reported -Wuninitialized that gets upgraded to
an error on 5.15:

  drivers/i3c/master.c:2203:3: error: variable 'i2cdev' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
   2203 |                 i2cdev->dev = i2c_new_client_device(adap, &i2cboardinfo->base);
        |                 ^~~~~~

As my previous messages pointing out this fix for a simple cherry-pick were
seemingly ignored, I sent the patch hoping it would get this issue finally
resolved.
