[PATCH] net: mscc: ocelot: Fix uninitialized error in ocelot_netdevice_event()

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Thu Jun 07 2018 - 09:37:45 EST


With gcc-4.1.2:

drivers/net/ethernet/mscc/ocelot.c: In function âocelot_netdevice_eventâ:
drivers/net/ethernet/mscc/ocelot.c:1129: warning: âretâ may be used uninitialized in this function

If the list iterated over by netdev_for_each_lower_dev() is empty, ret
is never initialized, and converted into a notifier return value.

Fix this by preinitializing ret to zero.

Fixes: a556c76adc052c97 ("net: mscc: Add initial Ocelot switch support")

This may be unlikely to happen, but given the notifier is called for any
(also non-ocelot) network device, better be safe than sorry.
