[PATCH][next] net/mlx5: Bridge: Fix uninitialized variable err

From: Colin King
Date: Wed Aug 18 2021 - 10:26:07 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

A recent change removed the assignment of err to the return from
the call mlx5_esw_bridge_lower_rep_vport_num_vhca_id_get, so now
err is uninitialized. This is problematic in the switch statement
where attr-id is SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS, there
is now a possibility of err not being assigned and the function
returning a garbage value in err. Fix this by initializing err
to zero.

Addresses-Coverity; ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: ff9b7521468b ("net/mlx5: Bridge, support LAG")
