3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> commit 13f99ebdd602ebdafb909e15ec6ffb1e34690167 upstream. The latest gcc-7.0.1 snapshot points out that we if nr_ch is zero, we never initialize some variables: sound/pci/au88x0/au88x0_core.c: In function 'vortex_adb_allocroute': sound/pci/au88x0/au88x0_core.c:2304:68: error: 'mix[0]' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] sound/pci/au88x0/au88x0_core.c:2305:58: error: 'src[0]' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] I assume this can never happen in practice, but adding a check here doesn't hurt either and avoids the warning. The code has been unchanged since the start of git history.
