watchdog: pcwd_usb: Fix attempting to access uninitialized memory
[ Upstream commit 7d06c07c67100fd0f8e6b3ab7145ce789f788117 ]
The stack variable msb and lsb may be used uninitialized in function
usb_pcwd_get_temperature and usb_pcwd_get_timeleft when usb card no response.
The build waring is:
drivers/watchdog/pcwd_usb.c:336:22: error: ‘lsb’ is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
*temperature = (lsb * 9 / 5) + 32;
~~~~^~~
drivers/watchdog/pcwd_usb.c:328:21: note: ‘lsb’ was declared here
unsigned char msb, lsb;
^~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
