Besides Greg's comment, you need to re-parse this sentence. I realize that
English is probably not your first language, but this one is not what you meant.
You likely meant "The variable authmode will remain uninitialized if all
statements used to initialize this variable are not triggered."
A possible (line-wrapped) patch to quiet the tools would be:

Yes, in this routine, it would be possible for authmode to not be set; however,
later code only compares it to either _WPA_IE_ID_ or _WPA2_IE_ID_. It is never
used in a way that an unset value could make the program flow be different by
arbitrarily setting the value to zero. Thus your statement "Then authmode may
contain a garbage value and influence the execution flow of this function." is
false.
