tw5864_frameinterval_get() only initializes its output when it successfully identifies the video standard in tw5864_input. We get a warning here because gcc can't always track the state if initialized warnings across a WARN() macro, and thinks it might get used incorrectly in tw5864_s_parm: media/pci/tw5864/tw5864-video.c: In function 'tw5864_s_parm': media/pci/tw5864/tw5864-video.c:816:38: error: 'time_base.numerator' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] media/pci/tw5864/tw5864-video.c:819:31: error: 'time_base.denominator' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] This particular use happens to be ok, but we do copy the uninitialized output of tw5864_frameinterval_get() into other memory without checking the return code, interestingly without getting a warning here. This initializes the output to 1/1s for the case, to make sure we do get an intialization that doesn't cause a division-by-zero exception in case we end up using this uninitialized data later. This also avoids the warning.
