Building regmap.o triggers this GCC warning: drivers/base/regmap/regmap.c: In function ‘regmap_raw_read’: drivers/base/regmap/regmap.c:1172:6: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
It seems 'ret' should always be set when this function returns. See, the else-branch can leave 'ret' uninitialized only if 'val_count' is zero. But if 'val_count' is zero regmap_volatile_range() will return true. That implies that 'ret' will be set in the if-branch. ('val_count' could be zero if 'val_len' is, for example, zero. That would be useless input, however.)
Anyhow, initializing 'ret' to -EINVAL silences GCC and is harmless.
Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl> --- I noticed this warning while building v3.6-rc7 on current Fedora 17, using Fedora's default config.
