It spotted that, but it seems it missed the bigger bug, reg->val is
unsigned. Since reg->val can't be less than 0, it will never actually
return the unitialized variable.
This patch should fix it correctly. The vidioc_g_register function was
broken too, it wasn't actually setting reg->val to the register value it
read.

usbvision: fix bugs in vidioc_[sg]_register functions
From: Trent Piepho <[email protected]>
s_register was assigning the return code to (unsigned)reg->val, rather than
errCode, which it what it would return. Except reg->val can't be < 0, so it
would never actually return an error.
g_register never actually put the value it read into reg->val.
