If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ea9edc65049907f2b2c9e140938bd09e6b6511b8 Author: Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jul 20 12:18:45 2020 -0700 video: fbdev: pvr2fb: initialize variables [ Upstream commit 8e1ba47c60bcd325fdd097cd76054639155e5d2e ] clang static analysis reports this repesentative error pvr2fb.c:1049:2: warning: 1st function call argument is an uninitialized value [core.CallAndMessage] if (*cable_arg) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Problem is that cable_arg depends on the input loop to set the cable_arg[0]. If it does not, then some random value from the stack is used. A similar problem exists for output_arg. So initialize cable_arg and output_arg.
