[PATCH v2] backlight: mp3309c: fix uninitialized local variable

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In the function "pm3309c_parse_dt_node", when the dimming analog control
mode (by I2C messages) is enabled, the local variable "prop_levels" is
tested without any initialization, as indicated by the following smatch
warning:

drivers/video/backlight/mp3309c.c:279 pm3309c_parse_dt_node() error: uninitialized symbol 'prop_levels'.

To avoid any problem in case of undefined behavior, we need to initialize
it to "NULL".

Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/af0a1870-693b-442f-9b11-0503cfcd944a@moroto.mountain/
Fixes: 2e914516a58c ("backlight: mp3309c: Add support for MPS MP3309C")
Signed-off-by: Flavio Suligoi <f.suligoi@xxxxxxx>

v2:
 - remove redundant initialization of "prop_pwms" variable
 - remove "thanks to Dan Carpenter for the report"
 - add "Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>" tag
 - add "Closes:" tag
