It is spurious to allocate a bitmap without initializing it. So, better safe than sorry, initialize it to 0 at least to have some known values. While at it, switch to the devm_bitmap_ API which is less verbose. Fixes: 4b41d3436796 ("net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: allow untagged traffic on host port") Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> --- Maybe this patch is useless, because of some _add_vlan _del_vlan stuff that initialize things correctly before they are used, but it really looks spurious to me. IIUC, cpsw_rx_vlan_encap() (and the embedded cpsw_ale_get_vlan_p0_untag() could test any bit in the un-initialized bitmap) Just a guess, I've not tried to understand all the logic involved. --- drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpsw_ale.c | 6 ++---- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
