[PATCH/RFC] soc: bcm2835: Make !RASPBERRYPI_FIRMWARE dummies return failure

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Sun Apr 08 2018 - 05:05:30 EST


If CONFIG_RASPBERRYPI_FIRMWARE=n:

drivers/gpio/gpio-raspberrypi-exp.c: In function ârpi_exp_gpio_get_polarityâ:
drivers/gpio/gpio-raspberrypi-exp.c:71: warning: âget.polarityâ is used uninitialized in this function
drivers/gpio/gpio-raspberrypi-exp.c: In function ârpi_exp_gpio_get_directionâ:
drivers/gpio/gpio-raspberrypi-exp.c:150: warning: âget.directionâ is used uninitialized in this function

The dummy firmware interface functions return 0, which means success,
causing subsequent code to make use of the never initialized output
parameter.

Fix this by making the dummy functions return an error code (-ENOSYS)
instead.

Note that this assumes the firmware always fills in the requested data
in the CONFIG_RASPBERRYPI_FIRMWARE=y case.

Should get.polarity resp. get.direction be preinitialized instead,
like is done for get.state?

static int rpi_exp_gpio_get(struct gpio_chip *gc, unsigned int off)
{
...
get.state = 0; /* storage for returned value */

ret = rpi_firmware_property(gpio->fw, RPI_FIRMWARE_GET_GPIO_STATE,
&get, sizeof(get));
...
}

This would avoid returning uninitialized data if the firmware did not
fill in the requested data.
