A memory block is allocated through kmalloc(), and its return value is assigned to the pointer isl6421. Then isl6421 is assigned to the varialbe fe->sec_priv. The function isl6421_set_voltage() is called with the argument fe. In this function, fe->sec_priv is assigned to isl6421. Thus the pointer isl6421 in the function isl6421_attach() and the function isl6421_set_voltage() point to the same memory. However, isl6421->is_off is not initialized but it is accessed at line 75: if (isl6421->is_off && !is_off) To fix this possible uninitialized-variable access, isl6421->is_off is initialized to false in the function isl6421_attach().
