[PATCH] net: bluetooth: hci_core.c: Cleaning up uninitialized variables

There is a risk that the variable will be used without being initialized.

This was largely found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck.

Hi Rickard,

I have no idea on how the variable will be used without being initialized. Have you actually looked through that function. The only thing we do with q is assign it and then use it. That is it.

Regards

Marcel

Hi Marcel!


Sorry sorry!! This is obviously not necessary!

This is code that was left when I tried to split up my original big patch.

This was part of code trying to solve a possible divided by 0.


    int q = 0;

...

    if (num)
        q = cnt / num;
    *quote = q ? q : 1;


But I'm not sure if it can happen in reality...
Guessing it will be caught by in that case by:

    if (!chan)
        return NULL;



I had actually not planned to submit this divided by 0 patch at all :-/


Best regards
Rickard Strandqvist
