[PATCH] mwifiex: fix uninitialized variable access in pcie_remove

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Date: 2017-01-13 15:35:55
Also in: linux-wireless, lkml
Subsystem: marvell mwifiex wireless driver, the rest · Maintainers: Brian Norris, Linus Torvalds

Checking the firmware status from PCIe register only works
if the register is available, otherwise we end up with
random behavior:

drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/pcie.c: In function 'mwifiex_pcie_remove':
drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/pcie.c:585:5: error: 'fw_status' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This makes sure we treat the absence of the register as a failure.

Fixes: 045f0c1b5e26 ("mwifiex: get rid of global user_rmmod flag")
