In case allocation via usb_alloc_coherent() fails in ims_pcu_buffers_alloc(), the function jumps to the exit path without initializing local variable 'error' that is used as return value. Detected by Coverity - CID 1016531. Signed-off-by: Christian Engelmayer <cengelma@xxxxxx> --- This is an allocation function and all currently coded error scenarios result in -ENOMEM. Thus it would be possible to eliminate 'error' at all and always return -ENOMEM in the error path. Compile tested.
