From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> Initialize return variable before exiting on an error path. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> ( if@p1 (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\)) { ... return ret; } | ret@p1 = 0 ) ... when != ret = e1 when != &ret *if(...) { ... when != ret = e2 when forall return ret; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- Perhaps -EINVAL is not the right value in this case. drivers/spi/spi-s3c24xx.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/drivers/spi/spi-s3c24xx.c b/drivers/spi/spi-s3c24xx.c index 8ee7d79..a2a080b 100644 --- a/drivers/spi/spi-s3c24xx.c +++ b/drivers/spi/spi-s3c24xx.c @@ -611,6 +611,7 @@ static int __devinit s3c24xx_spi_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) if (!pdata->set_cs) { if (pdata->pin_cs < 0) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "No chipselect pin\n"); + err = -EINVAL; goto err_register; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
