[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: mips: avoid potential uninitialized variable use
MIPS allmodconfig results in this warning:
sound/mips/hal2.c: In function 'hal2_gain_get': sound/mips/hal2.c:224:35: error: 'r' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] sound/mips/hal2.c:223:35: error: 'l' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] sound/mips/hal2.c: In function 'hal2_gain_put': sound/mips/hal2.c:260:13: error: 'new' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] sound/mips/hal2.c:260:13: error: 'old' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
It's easy enough to avoid by adding a 'default' clause to the switch statements here. I assume that in practice no other case can happen, but adding a default puts us on the safe side and shuts up the warnings.

Well, these cases are logical errors that must not happen, so returning an error would be a "safer", IMO.
thanks,

Agreed. I sent out a v2 now.
