Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: int3472: Fix uninitialised variable warning
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fix a compiler warning about an uninitialised err_msg variable by printing
the error where it is handled:

drivers/platform/x86/intel/int3472/discrete.c:440:24: warning: ‘err_msg’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  440 |                 return dev_err_probe(int3472->dev, ret, err_msg);
