[PATCH 4.9 14/44] bcm63xx_enet: avoid uninitialized variable warning

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

commit df384d435a5c034c735df3d9ea87a03172c59b56 upstream.

gcc-7 and probably earlier versions get confused by this function
and print a harmless warning:

drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bcm63xx_enet.c: In function 'bcm_enet_open':
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bcm63xx_enet.c:1130:3: error: 'phydev' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This adds an initialization for the 'phydev' variable when it is unused
and changes the check to test for that NULL pointer to make it clear
that we always pass a valid pointer here.
