[PATCH 3.14 39/77] ALSA: hda - using uninitialized data

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 69eba10e606a80665f8573221fec589430d9d1cb upstream.

In olden times the snd_hda_param_read() function always set "*start_id"
but in 2007 we introduced a new return and it causes uninitialized data
bugs in a couple of the callers: print_codec_info() and
hdmi_parse_codec().

Fixes: e8a7f136f5ed ('[ALSA] hda-intel - Improve HD-audio codec probing robustness')
