Without CONFIG_OF_RESERVED_MEM, gcc sees that the global cmd_db_header variable is never initialized, and through code optimization concludes that a lot of other code cannot possibly work after that: drivers/soc/qcom/cmd-db.c: In function 'cmd_db_read_addr': drivers/soc/qcom/cmd-db.c:197:21: error: 'ent.addr' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] return ret < 0 ? 0 : le32_to_cpu(ent.addr); drivers/soc/qcom/cmd-db.c: In function 'cmd_db_read_aux_data': drivers/soc/qcom/cmd-db.c:224:10: error: 'ent.len' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] ent_len = le16_to_cpu(ent.len); drivers/soc/qcom/cmd-db.c:115:6: error: 'rsc_hdr.data_offset' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] u16 offset = le16_to_cpu(hdr->data_offset); ^~~~~~ drivers/soc/qcom/cmd-db.c:116:6: error: 'ent.offset' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] u16 loffset = le16_to_cpu(ent->offset); ^~~~~~~ drivers/soc/qcom/cmd-db.c: In function 'cmd_db_read_aux_data_len': drivers/soc/qcom/cmd-db.c:250:38: error: 'ent.len' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] return ret < 0 ? 0 : le16_to_cpu(ent.len); ^ drivers/soc/qcom/cmd-db.c: In function 'cmd_db_read_slave_id': drivers/soc/qcom/cmd-db.c:272:7: error: 'ent.addr' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] Using a hard CONFIG_OF_RESERVED_MEM dependency avoids this warning, and we can remove the CONFIG_OF dependency.
