Inside function hideep_nvm_unlock(), variable "unmask_code" could
be uninitialized if hideep_pgm_r_reg() returns error, however, it
is used in the later if statement after an "and" operation, which
is potentially unsafe.

Hi Yizhuo,

I do not think that simply initializing the variable makes the code
behave any better. If we want to fix this properly we need to check for
errors returned by hideep_pgm_r_reg() and hideep_pgm_w_reg() and exit
this function early, signalling the caller about errors.

Thanks.

Hi Demitry:

Thanks for your quick response, following your advice, a careful way
is changing the return type of  "hideep_nvm_unlock()" from void to
int, and its caller "hideep_program_nvm()" also needs to add the
return check.

If this sounds ok, I would go ahead to modify the patch accordingly.

Yes, this sounds right.
