From 899a61a3305d49e8a712e9ab20d0db94bde5929f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anant Thazhemadam Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2020 07:16:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] media: usb: dvd-usb: fix uninit-value bug in dibusb_read_eeprom_byte() In dibusb_read_eeprom_byte(), if dibusb_i2c_msg() fails, val gets assigned an value that's not properly initialized. Using kzalloc() in place of kmalloc() for the buffer fixes this issue, as the val can now be set to 0 in the event dibusb_i2c_msg() fails.
