wm_adsp_read_data_word() used if (ret) to check for an error from wm_adsp_read_raw_data_block(). While this is perfectly valid, wm_adsp_read_raw_data_block() itself uses if (ret < 0) and three calls to wm_adsp_read_data_word() also use if (ret < 0). This creates an error check chain like this: 1st) if (ret < 0) return ret; 2nd) if (ret) return ret; 3rd) if (ret < 0) ... This can confuse the compiler into thinking that there are possible returns > 0 from the middle if() that are not handled by the final if(). If this was true it would lead to using uninitialized variables later in the outer function. Fix this by changing the test in wm_adsp_read_data_word() to be if (ret < 0).
