commit 7fc1503c906f0fac62d3506a6e993e49fb996248 upstream. On x86, the cw1200 driver produces a rather silly warning about the possible use of the 'ret' variable without an initialization presumably after being confused by the architecture specific definition of WARN_ON: drivers/net/wireless/st/cw1200/wsm.c: In function ‘wsm_handle_rx’: drivers/net/wireless/st/cw1200/wsm.c:1457:9: error: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] We have already checked that 'count' is larger than 0 here, so we know that 'ret' is initialized. Changing the 'for' loop into do/while also makes this clear to the compiler.
