| |
In the function "pm3309c_parse_dt_node", when the dimming analog control mode (by I2C messages) is enabled, the local variable "prop_levels" is tested without any initialization, as indicated by the following smatch warning:
drivers/video/backlight/mp3309c.c:279 pm3309c_parse_dt_node() error: uninitialized symbol 'prop_levels'.
To avoid any problem in case of undefined behavior, we need to initialize it to "NULL".
Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/af0a1870-693b-442f-9b11-0503cfcd944a@moroto.mountain/ Fixes: 2e914516a58c ("backlight: mp3309c: Add support for MPS MP3309C") Signed-off-by: Flavio Suligoi <f.suligoi@asem.it> ---
v2: - remove redundant initialization of "prop_pwms" variable - remove "thanks to Dan Carpenter for the report" - add "Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org>" tag - add "Closes:" tag
