Building with clang 13 reports this error
rvu_nix.c:4600:7: error: variable 'val' is used uninitialized whenever
'if' condition is false
if (!is_rvu_otx2(rvu))
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So initialize val.

Fixes: 4b5a3ab17c6c ("octeontx2-af: Hardware configuration for inline IPsec")

Thanks for the patch, but it looks like Colin beat you to the punch.
In linux-next, I see:
commit d853f1d3c900 ("octeontx2-af: Fix uninitialized variable val")

No worries, those allyesconfig breaks are easy to find :)
