Commit 1f5ef19779df2c2f75870332b37dd3004c08a515 added the following
function to drivers/media/video/tuner-core.c:

<-- snip -->

static int fe_has_signal(struct tuner *t)
{
struct dvb_tuner_ops *fe_tuner_ops = &t->fe.ops.tuner_ops;
u16 strength;

if (fe_tuner_ops->get_rf_strength)
fe_tuner_ops->get_rf_strength(&t->fe, &strength);

return strength;
}

<-- snip -->


If (!fe_tuner_ops->get_rf_strength) this function returns the value of
an uninitialized variable.
