Hi Colin,

Currently the call to device_property_read_u32_array is not error checked
leading to potential garbage values in the delays array that are then used
in msleep delays.  Add a sanity check to the property fetching.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <redacted>

I have also sent a patch [0] to fix initialize the array.
can you please look at my patch so we can work out which one to use?

my concern is that the "snps,reset-delays-us" property is optional,
the current dt-bindings documentation states that it's a required
property. in reality it isn't, there are boards (two examples are
mentioned in my patch: [0]) without it.

so I believe that the resulting behavior has to be:
1. don't delay if this property is missing (instead of delaying for
   <garbage value> ms)
2. don't error out if this property is missing

your patch covers #1, can you please check whether #2 is also covered?
I tested case #2 when submitting my patch and it worked fine (even
though I could not reproduce the garbage values which are being read
on some boards)

in the meantime I have tested your patch.
when I don't set the "snps,reset-delays-us" property then I get the
following error:
  invalid property snps,reset-delays-us

my patch has landed in the meantime: [0]
how should we proceed with your patch?

Your fix is good, so I think we should just drop/forget about my fix.

thank you for looking at the situation

as far I understand the -net/-net-next tree all commits are immutable
so if we want to remove your patch we need to send a revert
do you want me to do that (I can do it on Monday) or will you take care of that?
