From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit ba52eac083e1598e748811ff58d259f77e4c5c4d upstream. When building with automatic stack variable initialization, GCC 12 complains about variables defined outside of switch case statements. Move the variable into the case that uses it, which silences the warning: drivers/rtc/dev.c: In function 'rtc_dev_ioctl': drivers/rtc/dev.c:394:30: warning: statement will never be executed [-Wswitch-unreachable] 394 | long offset; | ^~~~~~ Fixes: 6a8af1b6568a ("rtc: add parameter ioctl") Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Gustavo A.
