From: Kees Cook Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2020 20:28:45 +0000 (-0700) Subject: b43: Remove uninitialized_var() usage X-Git-Url: http://git.osdn.net/view?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e909ec10186ad5cf4ecd19d0b8cf6fd96f467e58;p=uclinux-h8%2Flinux.git b43: Remove uninitialized_var() usage Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1] (or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings (e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized, either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes. As a precursor to removing[2] this[3] macro[4], just initialize this variable to NULL. No later NULL deref is possible due to the early returns outside of the (phy->rev >= 7 && phy->rev < 19) case, which explicitly tests for NULL.
