From: Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx> Static analysis reports this representative problem atomisp-gc2235.c:867:20: warning: The right operand of '|' is a garbage value id = ((high << 8) | low); ^ ~~~ When gc2235_read_reg() fails, its return val is never written. For gc2235_detect(), high and low are or-ed and compared with GC2235_ID, 0x2235. Initialize both to 0 and skip checking the read returns, it's errors are not passed up, only -ENODEV is.
