Thanks for the fix.


clang points out that there is a code path that leads to undefined behavior:

drivers/gpu/drm/sysfb/efidrm.c:353:11: error: variable 'screen_base' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
353 | else if (mem_flags & EFI_MEMORY_WB)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Add the missing initialization.

Fixes: 32ae90c66fb6 ("drm/sysfb: Add efidrm for EFI displays")

A similar patch has been proposed by Nathan already and acked by Thomas:

https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2025-April/500539.html

I've meanwhile merged this patch into drm-misc-next.

Best regards
Thomas
