In the function rt2500usb_register_read(_lock), reg is uninitialized in some situation. Then KMSAN reports uninit-value at its first memory access. To fix this issue, initialize reg with zero in the function rt2500usb_register_read and rt2500usb_register_read_lock BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in rt2500usb_init_eeprom rt2500usb.c:1443 [inline] BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in rt2500usb_probe_hw+0xb5e/0x22a0 rt2500usb.c:1757 CPU: 0 PID: 3369 Comm: kworker/0:2 Not tainted 5.3.0-rc7+ #0 Hardware name: Google Compute Engine Workqueue: usb_hub_wq hub_event Call Trace: __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:77 [inline] dump_stack+0x191/0x1f0 lib/dump_stack.c:113 kmsan_report+0x162/0x2d0 mm/kmsan/kmsan_report.c:109 __msan_warning+0x75/0xe0 mm/kmsan/kmsan_instr.c:294 rt2500usb_init_eeprom wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2500usb.c:1443 [inline] rt2500usb_probe_hw+0xb5e/0x22a0 wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2500usb.c:1757 rt2x00lib_probe_dev+0xba9/0x3260 wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2x00dev.c:1427 rt2x00usb_probe+0x7ae/0xf60 wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2x00usb.c:842 rt2500usb_probe+0x50/0x60 wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2500usb.c:1966 ......
