mtd: slram: insert break after errors in parsing the map
[ Upstream commit 336c218dd7f0588ed8a7345f367975a00a4f003f ]
GCC 12.3.0 compiler on linux-next next-20240709 tree found the execution
path in which, due to lazy evaluation, devlength isn't initialised with the
parsed string:
289 while (map) {
290 devname = devstart = devlength = NULL;
291
292 if (!(devname = strsep(&map, ","))) {
293 E("slram: No devicename specified.\n");
294 break;
295 }
296 T("slram: devname = %s\n", devname);
297 if ((!map) || (!(devstart = strsep(&map, ",")))) {
298 E("slram: No devicestart specified.\n");
299 }
300 T("slram: devstart = %s\n", devstart);
→ 301 if ((!map) || (!(devlength = strsep(&map, ",")))) {
302 E("slram: No devicelength / -end specified.\n");
303 }
→ 304 T("slram: devlength = %s\n", devlength);
305 if (parse_cmdline(devname, devstart, devlength) != 0) {
306 return(-EINVAL);
307 }
Parsing should be finished after map == NULL, so a break is best inserted after
each E("slram: ... \n") error message.
