From: Yizhuo <yzhai003@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 53de429f4e88f538f7a8ec2b18be8c0cd9b2c8e1 ] In function mdio_sc_cfg_reg_write(), variable "reg_value" could be uninitialized if regmap_read() fails. However, "reg_value" is used to decide the control flow later in the if statement, which is potentially unsafe. Signed-off-by: Yizhuo <yzhai003@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
