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".
