Subject: [media] am437x-vpfe: always assign bpp variable
From: Nicolas Iooss <nicolas.iooss_linux@xxxxxxx>
commit 6ebf75774f823ddbdbd10921006989d4df222f4a upstream.
In vpfe_s_fmt(), when the sensor format and the requested format were
the same, bpp was assigned to vpfe->bpp without being initialized first.
Grab the bpp value that is currently used by using __vpfe_get_format()
instead of its wrapper, vpfe_try_fmt().
This use of uninitialized variable has been found by compiling the
kernel with clang.

support for AM437X")
