[patch] ipmi_ssif: silence an uninitialized variable warning

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



My static checker complains that "ret" could be zero here.  (Presumably
that means the hardware is badly busted).  But the result would be that
the caller assumes *resp_len is initialized when it's not and it leads
to a warning.  Let's just silence the warning.
