clang static analysis flags this represenative problem
thinkpad_acpi.c:2523:7: warning: Branch condition evaluates

                 if (!oldn->mute ||
                     ^~~~~~~~~~~

In hotkey_kthread() mute is conditionally set by hotkey_read_nvram()
but unconditionally checked by hotkey_compare_and_issue_event().
So the tp_nvram_state variable s[2] needs to be initialized.

Fixes: 01e88f25985d ("ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add CMOS NVRAM polling for hot keys (v9)")

Looking at the code I do not think this can actually happen,
this can only happen if the poll_mask == 0 the first time
through the loop so s[1] does never gets initialized and then
the second time to the loop poll_mask != 0, but if poll_mask
changes then we hit:

                mutex_lock(&hotkey_thread_data_mutex);
                if (was_frozen || hotkey_config_change != change_detector) {
                        /* forget old state on thaw or config change */
                        si = so;
                        t = 0;
                        change_detector = hotkey_config_change;
                }

Where we set si = so so then this can also not happen.

I can understand the static-analyzer warning about this, and fixing
that warning is good. But I doubt that this warrants a fixes tag.

So with the Fixes tag dropped this is:
