From ba3d0dda6d5facd6fe63a3276825bd2b9fa2990e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2016 14:37:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: xgene: fix backward compatibility fix A bugfix for backward compatibility handling introduced undefined behavior for the case that of_parse_phandle() does not return a valid entry, as "gcc -Wmaybe-unused" reports: drivers/net/ethernet/apm/xgene/xgene_enet_hw.c: In function 'xgene_enet_phy_connect': drivers/net/ethernet/apm/xgene/xgene_enet_hw.c:776:6: error: 'phy_dev' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] drivers/net/ethernet/apm/xgene/xgene_enet_hw.c: In function 'xgene_enet_mdio_config': drivers/net/ethernet/apm/xgene/xgene_enet_hw.c:776:6: error: 'phy_dev' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] We can work around this by removing the check for zero "np", as of_phy_connect() will correctly handle a NULL argument so we fall back into the normal error handling case. Note that I had previously fixed another bug that resulted in the exact same warning, but this is a different problem that was introduced after my original fix.
