3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
commit fe8c470ab87d90e4b5115902dd94eced7e3305c3 upstream.
gcc -O2 cannot always prove that the loop in acpi_power_get_inferred_state() is enterered at least once, so it assumes that cur_state might not get initialized:
drivers/acpi/power.c: In function 'acpi_power_get_inferred_state': drivers/acpi/power.c:222:9: error: 'cur_state' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
This sets the variable to zero at the start of the loop, to ensure that there is well-defined behavior even for an empty list. This gets rid of the warning.
The warning first showed up when the -Os flag got removed in a bug fix patch in linux-4.11-rc5.
I would suggest merging this addon patch on top of that bug fix to avoid introducing a new warning in the stable kernels.
