[BUG] net: ethernet: lpc_eth: possible uninitialized-variable access in lpc_eth_drv_probe()

Hello,
Our static analysis tool finds a possible uninitialized-variable access
in the nxp driver in Linux 5.14.0-rc3:
At the beginning of the function lpc_eth_drv_probe(), the variable
dma_handle is not initialized.
If the following conditions are false, it remains uninitialized.
1304: if (use_iram_for_net(dev))
1314: if (pldat->dma_buff_base_v == NULL)
However, it is accessed through:
1333: pldat->dma_buff_base_p = dma_handle;;
I am not quite sure whether this possible uninitialized-variable access
is real and how to fix it if it is real.
Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks!
