Initialize ret to zero to ensure ret is initialized in all paths within scarlett2_ag_target_ctl_get(), which matches the style of other functions in this driver.
Fixes: e30ea5340c25 ("ALSA: scarlett2: Add autogain target controls") Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor nathan@kernel.org --- FWIW, a lot of the functions that end in just 'mutex_unlock()' before returning could probably benefit from the cleanup.h infrastructure, which would help with the scope of err in this particular function, but I decided to go with the most minimal fix here. --- sound/usb/mixer_scarlett2.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
