The current code is:
=20
	/* Find the chip ID */
	np =3D of_get_cpu_node(cpu, NULL);
	if (np) {
		if (of_property_read_u32(np, "ibm,chip-id", &chip_id) < 0)
			chip_id =3D 0;
	}
=20
Where if np is NULL then we don't initialise chip_id.
=20
Which could be:
=20
	np =3D of_get_cpu_node(cpu, NULL);
        if (of_property_read_u32(np, "ibm,chip-id", &chip_id) < 0)
                chip_id =3D 0;
=20
Because of_property_read_u32() will just return an error if np is NULL.
=20
It's also missing an of_node_put() of np, you should do a separate patch
to fix that. You can just do it unconditionally after the
of_property_read_u32().
I think we can simply get rid of the OF code under xive_native_get_ipi()
and use xc->chip_id instead. It should be safe to use as xive_prepare_cpu=
()=20
should have initialized ->chip_id by the time xive_native_get_ipi() is=20
called.=20
Even better!

cheers
