Clang warns (or errors with CONFIG_WERROR):
../drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/omap_fbdev.c:235:6: error: variable 'helper' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (!fbdev)
^~~~~~
../drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/omap_fbdev.c:259:26: note: uninitialized use occurs here

^~~~~~
../drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/omap_fbdev.c:235:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false
if (!fbdev)
^~~~~~~~~~~
../drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/omap_fbdev.c:228:30: note: initialize the variable 'helper' to silence this warning
struct drm_fb_helper *helper;
^
= NULL
1 error generated.
Return early, as there is nothing for the function to do if memory
cannot be allocated. There is no point in adding another label to just
emit the warning at the end of the function in this case, as memory
allocation failures are already logged.

This is currently showing in mainline so I believe this should go to
drm-misc-next-fixes.
