patch "iio: adc: mt6359: fix unchecked return value in mt6358_read_imp" added to char-misc-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    iio: adc: mt6359: fix unchecked return value in mt6358_read_imp

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: iio: adc: mt6359: fix unchecked return value in mt6358_read_imp

In mt6358_read_imp(), the variable val_v is passed to regmap_read()
but the return value is not checked. If the read fails, val_v remains
uninitialized and its random stack content is subsequently reported
as a measurement result.

Initialize val_v to zero to ensure a predictable value is reported
in case of bus failure and to prevent potential stack data leakage.
This also satisfies static analyzers that might otherwise flag the
variable as used uninitialized.
