When compiling with gcc version 14.0.1 20240226 (experimental) and W=12, I've noticed the following warnings: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/qmi.c: In function 'ath11k_qmi_load_file_target_mem': drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/qmi.c:2401:16: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] 2401 | return ret; drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/qmi.c: In function 'ath11k_qmi_load_bdf_qmi': drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/qmi.c:2494:17: warning: 'fw_entry' may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] 2494 | release_firmware(fw_entry); And a bunch of them traced to an uninitialized fields of the same variable, e.g.: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/spectral.c: In function 'ath11k_spectral_process_data': drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/spectral.c:700:47: warning: 'summ_rpt.meta.freq1' may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] 700 | struct ath11k_spectral_summary_report summ_rpt; Fix all of the above by using 0, NULL, and {} initializers, respectively. Note there are few more (less obvious) -Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings still remains, but they're hardly possible to fix without running on a physical hardware. Compile tested only. Also noticed by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
