Ah, you changed the above to add the initialization.
Without knowing that, your comment below is a bit misleading.

Guenter

+ if (obj && obj->type == ACPI_TYPE_INTEGER)
+ tmp = obj->integer.value;

+ if (retval)
+ *retval = tmp;

+ kfree(obj);

+ if (tmp == ASUSWMI_UNSUPPORTED_METHOD)

This is uninitialized tmp in case when no obj, or obj is of the wrong type.

+ return 0;

+ return -EOPNOTSUPP;
