Subject: drm/amdgpu: initialize amdgpu_cgs_acpi_eval_object result value
From: Nicolas Iooss <nicolas.iooss_linux@xxxxxxx>
commit 29b9c528b8c295911e8b1e515273e89a2b7fa2d8 upstream.
amdgpu_cgs_acpi_eval_object() returned the value of variable "result"
without initializing it first.
This bug has been found by compiling the kernel with clang. The
compiler complained:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_cgs.c:972:14: error: variable
'result' is used uninitialized whenever 'for' loop exits because its
condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
^~~~~~~~~
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_cgs.c:1011:9: note: uninitialized
use occurs here
return result;
^~~~~~
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_cgs.c:972:14: note: remove the
condition if it is always true
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
^~~~~~~~~
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_cgs.c:864:12: note: initialize the
variable 'result' to silence this warning
int result;
^
= 0
