[PATCH] b43: Fix bogus compilation warning for phy_n

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When cross-compiling the 2.6.39 wireless-testing source using GCC version
(SUSE Linux) 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291] on an x86_64 system,
the following warning is issued:

  CC [M]  drivers/net/wireless/b43/phy_n.o
drivers/net/wireless/b43/phy_n.c: In function âb43_nphy_cal_tx_iq_loâ:
drivers/net/wireless/b43/phy_n.c:3096: warning: âlastâ may be used
        uninitialized in this function

A quick look at the code shows that the warning is bogus and a gcc bug,
but to ensure clean compilation for all users, mark the offending variable
as uninitialized.
