From 8f8abb863fa5a4cc18955c6a0e17af0ded3e4a76 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Javier Carrasco Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2023 00:26:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: usb: dm9601: fix uninitialized variable use in dm9601_mdio_read syzbot has found an uninit-value bug triggered by the dm9601 driver [1]. This error happens because the variable res is not updated if the call to dm_read_shared_word returns an error. In this particular case -EPROTO was returned and res stayed uninitialized. This can be avoided by checking the return value of dm_read_shared_word and propagating the error if the read operation failed.
