It is however set in the first occurrence: /* w83781d and as99127f don't have extended divisor bits */ if ((data->type != w83781d) && data->type != as99127f) { old3 = w83781d_read_value(client, W83781D_REG_VBAT); } and thus is rather gcc being brain dead for not being able to figure old3 is only used within a if block like that. I was not sure about style policy in a case like this, so I left it as is, it should however be possible to 'fix' it with: drivers/i2c/chips/w83781d.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -Nru a/drivers/i2c/chips/w83781d.c b/drivers/i2c/chips/w83781d.c --- a/drivers/i2c/chips/w83781d.c Wed Apr 9 15:15:55 2003 +++ b/drivers/i2c/chips/w83781d.c Wed Apr 9 15:15:55 2003 @@ -712,7 +712,7 @@ { struct i2c_client *client = to_i2c_client(dev); struct w83781d_data *data = i2c_get_clientdata(client); - u32 val, old, old2, old3; + u32 val, old, old2, old3 = 0; val = simple_strtoul(buf, NULL, 10); old = w83781d_read_value(client, W83781D_REG_VID_FANDIV);
