ACPI fan driver: uninitialized variable when CONFIG_PM is not set
From: Michel Lespinasse

In the following code:
static int fan_get_cur_state(struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev, unsigned long
*state)
{
struct acpi_device *device = cdev->devdata;
int result;
int acpi_state;
if (!device)
return -EINVAL;
result = acpi_bus_update_power(device->handle, &acpi_state);
if (result)
return result;
*state = (acpi_state == ACPI_STATE_D3 ? 0 :
(acpi_state == ACPI_STATE_D0 ? 1 : -1));
return 0;
}
With CONFIG_PM not set, acpi_bus_update_power() returns 0 and does not
initialize acpi_state. This results in acpi_state being used before
initialization.
(I found out by random chance, as I suppose people don't normally
build without CONFIG_PM anymore ?)
I'm not sure what a proper fix would be, so I'll just report this here
and enable CONFIG_PM locally :)
