Hello Srinivas Kandagatla, The patch d5add08fcbce: "ASoC: codecs: wcd938x: add capture dapm widgets" from Jun 9, 2021, leads to the following static checker warning: sound/soc/codecs/wcd938x.c:2092 wcd938x_tx_swr_ctrl() error: uninitialized symbol 'rate'. sound/soc/codecs/wcd938x.c 2064 switch (event) { 2065 case SND_SOC_DAPM_PRE_PMU: 2066 if (strnstr(w->name, "ADC", sizeof("ADC"))) { Use strncmp() here instead of strnstr(). The sizeof() will include the NUL terminator so it's size 4 and you wanted 3. The off by one means that strnstr() will do two memcmp()s. The equivalent of: if (memcmp(w->name, "ADC", 3) == 0) return w->name; if (memcmp(w->name + 1, "ADC", 3) == 0) return w->name + 1; return NULL; 2067 int i = 0, mode = 0; 2068 2069 if (test_bit(WCD_ADC1, &wcd938x->status_mask)) 2070 mode |= tx_mode_bit[wcd938x->tx_mode[WCD_ADC1]]; 2071 if (test_bit(WCD_ADC2, &wcd938x->status_mask)) 2072 mode |= tx_mode_bit[wcd938x->tx_mode[WCD_ADC2]]; 2073 if (test_bit(WCD_ADC3, &wcd938x->status_mask)) 2074 mode |= tx_mode_bit[wcd938x->tx_mode[WCD_ADC3]]; 2075 if (test_bit(WCD_ADC4, &wcd938x->status_mask)) 2076 mode |= tx_mode_bit[wcd938x->tx_mode[WCD_ADC4]]; 2077 2078 if (mode != 0) { 2079 for (i = 0; i < ADC_MODE_ULP2; i++) { 2080 if (mode & (1 << i)) { 2081 i++; 2082 break; 2083 } 2084 } 2085 } 2086 rate = wcd938x_get_clk_rate(i); 2087 wcd938x_set_swr_clk_rate(component, rate, bank); 2088 } 2089 2090 if (strnstr(w->name, "ADC", sizeof("ADC"))) 2091 /* Copy clk settings to active bank */ 2092 wcd938x_set_swr_clk_rate(component, rate, !bank); This a false positive, but you could silence it by combining it with the previous if block. 2093 break; 2094 case SND_SOC_DAPM_POST_PMD: 2095 if (strnstr(w->name, "ADC", sizeof("ADC"))) { 2096 rate = wcd938x_get_clk_rate(ADC_MODE_INVALID); 2097 wcd938x_set_swr_clk_rate(component, rate, !bank); 2098 wcd938x_set_swr_clk_rate(component, rate, bank); 2099 } 2100 break; 2101 } regards, dan carpenter
