Indeed, it looks like gain is only valid if the return value from
ov7670_read() is >= 0.  Would it be simpler to just initialize gain to
0 in ov7670_g_gain?

Side question; I'm super happy to see someone sending patches for
things identified by clang's static analyzer.  I'm curious, Tom, how
did you run it?  Did you use the recently landed in kbuild-next
support for the make target `make clang-analyzer`?
