[PATCH -mm 1/2] 3c59x: Fix uninitialized variable bug

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



drivers/net/3c59x.c: In function 'vortex_up':
drivers/net/3c59x.c:1495: warning: 'err' may be used uninitialized in this function

is a genuine bug. The function returns an uninitialized value of 'err'
back to the caller, which expects it to be 0 for success cases. Let's
fix this by explicitly initializing 'err' to zero.
