'rc' is not set in this path, so it maybe used uninitialized by 'if (rc)' below.
Should we set it to a non-zero value in this path?

I notice the following code in acpi_nfit_notify():
	nfit_saved = acpi_desc->nfit;
	obj = buf.pointer;
	if (obj->type == ACPI_TYPE_BUFFER) {
		acpi_desc->nfit =
			(struct acpi_nfit_header *)obj->buffer.pointer;
		ret = acpi_nfit_init(acpi_desc, obj->buffer.length);
		if (ret) {
			/* Merge failed, restore old nfit, and exit */
			acpi_desc->nfit = nfit_saved;
			dev_err(dev, "failed to merge updated NFIT\n");
		}
		...

If we set acpi_desc->nfit to NULL in acpi_nfit_add() and
acpi_nfit_init() in acpi_nfit_notify() fails, it will be impossible to
restore the old nfit, because nfit_saved is NULL.

Thanks,
