Subject: [PATCH] UBI: silence erroneous GCC warning about uninitialized read
Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2019 16:55:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190715145522.9589-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)

GCC reports following use of an uninitialized variable:

  ./drivers/mtd/ubi/eba.c: In function 'try_write_vid_and_data':
  ./drivers/mtd/ubi/eba.c:904:9: warning:
    'opnum' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
       err = ubi_wl_put_peb(ubi, vol_id, lnum, opnum, 0);
             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is incorrect, because it's only called when err == 0 and opnum
is always initialized if err == 0. Silence the warning by initializing
a variable.
