The patch ASoC: rt5651: Variable "ret" in function rt5651_i2c_probe() could be uninitialized has been applied to the asoc tree at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From e20bfeb0b7d808bc05e7c4cb1f492cd31d837da0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yizhuo <yzhai003@xxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2019 10:45:37 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: rt5651: Variable "ret" in function rt5651_i2c_probe() could be uninitialized In function rt5651_i2c_probe(), local variable "ret" could be uninitialized if function regmap_read() returns -EINVAL. However, this value is used in if statement. This is potentially unsafe.
