With some configuration option combinations, we get the following warnings: drivers/hwmon/lm90.c: In function 'lm90_detect': drivers/hwmon/lm90.c:1114: warning: 'chip_id' may be used uninitialized in this function drivers/hwmon/lm90.c:1114: warning: 'reg_config1' may be used uninitialized in this function drivers/hwmon/lm90.c:1114: warning: 'reg_convrate' may be used uninitialized in this function drivers/hwmon/lm90.c:1187: warning: 'reg_emerg2' may be used uninitialized in this function drivers/hwmon/lm90.c:1187: warning: 'reg_status2' may be used uninitialized in this function We can solve these easily by reading the register values first and checking for errors later. These errors should be very rare, even in the case of failed detection, so this change has no impact on performance. And this makes checkpatch.pl happier.
