Subject[PATCH] rtc: pcf8563: fix uninitialized use warning
Date
gcc-4.9 found a potential condition under which the 'pending'
variable may be used uninitialized:

drivers/rtc/rtc-pcf8563.c: In function 'pcf8563_irq':
drivers/rtc/rtc-pcf8563.c:173:5: warning: 'pending' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

This is because in the pcf8563_get_alarm_mode() function, we
check any nonzero return of pcf8563_read_block_data, but
in the irq function we only check for negative values, so
a possible positive value does not get detected if the compiler
chooses not to inline the entire call chain.

Checking for any non-zero value in the interrupt handler as well
is just as correct and lets the compiler know what we are doing,
without needing a bogus initialization.
