overlay_update_local_node_references() saves the result of fdt_subnode_offset() into variable tree_child but checks for variable ret afterwards. As this does not make sense, check tree_child instead of ret. This bug has been found by compiling with clang. The compiler reported the following warning: libfdt/fdt_overlay.c:275:7: error: variable 'ret' may be uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wconditional-uninitialized] if (ret == -FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND) ^~~ libfdt/fdt_overlay.c:210:9: note: initialize the variable 'ret' to silence this warning int ret; ^ = 0 Signed-off-by: Nicolas Iooss <nicolas.iooss_linux@xxxxxxx> --- libfdt/fdt_overlay.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/libfdt/fdt_overlay.c b/libfdt/fdt_overlay.c index 56cb70ed4445..b2fb5d970ccc 100644 --- a/libfdt/fdt_overlay.c +++ b/libfdt/fdt_overlay.c @@ -272,7 +272,7 @@ static int overlay_update_local_node_references(void *fdto, tree_child = fdt_subnode_offset(fdto, tree_node, fixup_child_name); - if (ret == -FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND) + if (tree_child == -FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND) return -FDT_ERR_BADOVERLAY; if (tree_child < 0) return tree_child; -- 2.11.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree-compiler" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
