Thus, initializing 'status' variable to 'DC_ERROR_UNEXPECTED' by default. Fixes the below: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/link/protocols/link_dpcd.c:226 core_link_read_dpcd() error: uninitialized symbol 'status'. drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/link/protocols/link_dpcd.c:248 core_link_write_dpcd() error: uninitialized symbol 'status'.
