If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 570b8ed93051ff6501cecb1ccd32f34c9e3a7113 Author: Wei Chen <harperchen1110@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 28 13:44:16 2023 +0100 media: dvb-usb: dw2102: fix uninit-value in su3000_read_mac_address [ Upstream commit a3fd1ef27aa686d871cefe207bd6168c4b0cd29e ] In su3000_read_mac_address, if i2c_transfer fails to execute two messages, array mac address will not be initialized. Without handling such error, later in function dvb_usb_adapter_dvb_init, proposed_mac is accessed before initialization. Fix this error by returning a negative value if message execution fails.
