If link_conf_dereference_protected() or mt7996_vif_link() 
or link_sta_dereference_protected() fail the code jumps to
the error_unlink label and returns ret which is uninitialised.

Fix this by setting err before jumping to error_unlink.

Fixes: c7e4fc362443 ("wifi: mt76: mt7996: Update mt7996_mcu_add_sta to MLO support")
Fixes: dd82a9e02c05 ("wifi: mt76: mt7996: Rely on mt7996_sta_link in sta_add/sta_remove callbacks")

What about if the list is empty or we hit this continue on every link?

we will return 0 and I guess that's fine, agree?

…

I suggest to avoid such repeated error code assignments.
Can an additional label be applied instead for this purpose?

Markus

Maintainers get the final vote but generally when someone is doing
the work they get to decide.

I would say that generally the way that Qasim did it is normally
more readable and more future proof.

Please stop your "suggestions" on this list. None have really been
helpful.

It seems that you care less then for the avoidance of duplicate source code
also for affected error/exception handling.

                                      call failed?

                                     a value from a local variable
                                     which was not initialised properly?


Can the summary phrase be improved also another bit?

Markus

You are missing a semicolon at the end of the line.

To also do some bike shedding, you could initialize err (with 0 or
-EINVAL), and then change the err return to return err ? : -EINVAL;.
But your way has an explicit error code assigned to each failure, even
if it is always the same. So I won't claim my suggestion is better.

Best regards,
Jonas

Good spot! not sure how that happened but I will resend a v2 patch.

Thanks for the suggestion, I think this could work however I think my 
current approach is more a bit more readable, so I will leave it as is.
