SubjectRe: [PATCH 06/10] clk: st: Remove uninitialized_var() usage
From
Date
Quoting Kees Cook (2020-06-03 16:31:59)
> Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
> (or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings (e.g.
> "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized, either
> simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes. As a precursor
> to removing[2] this[3] macro[4], just remove this variable since it was
> actually unused:
