No, I'm fairly sure this is the right fix. Looking at the whole function:

| static int smu_v11_0_get_current_clk_freq(struct smu_context *smu,
|                                          enum smu_clk_type clk_id,
|                                          uint32_t *value)
|{
|        int ret = 0;
|        uint32_t freq;
|
|        if (clk_id >= SMU_CLK_COUNT || !value)
|                return -EINVAL;
|
|        /* if don't has GetDpmClockFreq Message, try get current
clock by SmuMetrics_t */
|        if (smu_msg_get_index(smu, SMU_MSG_GetDpmClockFreq) == 0) {
|                ret =  smu_get_current_clk_freq_by_table(smu, clk_id, &freq);

Here &freq may or may not get initialized

|        } else {
|                ret = smu_send_smc_msg_with_param(smu, SMU_MSG_GetDpmClockFreq,
|
(smu_clk_get_index(smu, clk_id) << 16));
|                if (ret)
|                        return ret;
|
|               ret = smu_read_smc_arg(smu, &freq);
|                if (ret)
|                        return ret;

Same here, but if it's not initialized, we bail out

|        }
|
|       freq *= 100;
|        *value = freq;

And here it gets assigned to *value

|        return ret;
|}
