Hi,
Static analysis with Coverity on linux-next has detected an issue with
the following commit:
commit 5f1b95d08de712327e452d082a50fded435ec884

ASoC: q6dsp: q6afe: remove unneeded dead-store initialization
the analysis is as follows:
1181 int q6afe_port_stop(struct q6afe_port *port)
1182 {
1183 struct afe_port_cmd_device_stop *stop;
1184 struct q6afe *afe = port->afe;
1185 struct apr_pkt *pkt;
1. var_decl: Declaring variable port_id without initializer.
1186 int port_id;
1187 int ret = 0;
1188 int index, pkt_size;
1189 void *p;
1190
1191 index = port->token;
2. Condition index < 0, taking false branch.
3. Condition index >= 127, taking false branch.
1192 if (index < 0 || index >= AFE_PORT_MAX) {
1193 dev_err(afe->dev, "AFE port index[%d] invalid!\n",
index);
1194 return -EINVAL;
1195 }
1196
1197 pkt_size = APR_HDR_SIZE + sizeof(*stop);
1198 p = kzalloc(pkt_size, GFP_KERNEL);
4. Condition !p, taking false branch.
1199 if (!p)
1200 return -ENOMEM;
1201
1202 pkt = p;
1203 stop = p + APR_HDR_SIZE;
1204
1205 pkt->hdr.hdr_field = APR_HDR_FIELD(APR_MSG_TYPE_SEQ_CMD,
1206 APR_HDR_LEN(APR_HDR_SIZE),
1207 APR_PKT_VER);
1208 pkt->hdr.pkt_size = pkt_size;
1209 pkt->hdr.src_port = 0;
1210 pkt->hdr.dest_port = 0;
1211 pkt->hdr.token = index;
1212 pkt->hdr.opcode = AFE_PORT_CMD_DEVICE_STOP;
Uninitialized scalar variable (UNINIT)
5. uninit_use: Using uninitialized value port_id.
1213 stop->port_id = port_id;
1214 stop->reserved = 0;
the commit removed the initialization of port_id = port->id, and now we
have a regression where stop->port_id is being assigned with a garbage
uninitialized value in port_id. Perhaps the fix needs reverting. As it
stands, I don't know why clang was reporting this as an error.
