This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled serial: sh-sci: Uninitialized variables in sysfs files to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 4ab3c51e0540ba8464fe34d84cc35821bb77ae92 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2017 11:34:23 +0300 Subject: serial: sh-sci: Uninitialized variables in sysfs files The kstrtol() function returns -ERANGE as well as -EINVAL so these tests are not enough. It's not a super serious bug, but my static checker correctly complains that the "r" variable might be used uninitialized.
