That really doesn't say what is happening here at all.  Please provide a
lot more information as the response from a tool could, or could not, be
a real issue, how are we supposed to know?

And "unassigned" really isn't the bug that is being fixed here, please
describe it better.

Same for patch 2 of the series.

Also, your 0/2 email was not threaded with these patches, something odd
happened in your email setup, you might want to look into that.

thanks,

Hi Greg,

I understand your concern about whether the response from the tool could 
be a real issue or not. However, please check the provided code, I 
believe there is an issue worth considering.
In both conditions of the code snippet, the logical check is not valid 
because the 'bcdUSB' variable has not been assigned any value initially. 
Therefore, we believe that the tool is correctly identifying this problem.

If you do not consider it an issue, we can ignore this commit.


Please find the relevant portion of the code below:

========================================================================
u16                             bcdUSB;
...
...
/* Create the descriptor for port with the highest revision */
for (i = 0; i < xhci->num_port_caps; i++) {
     ..
     ..
*  if (i == 0 || bcdUSB < rev) { *
         bcdUSB = rev;
         port_cap = &xhci->port_caps[i];
     }
}
..
..
*if (bcdUSB >= 0x0310) {* //*Logically invalid to check bcdUSB without 
assigning a valuewhere above **xhci->num_port_caps become NULL*.
     if (port_cap->psi_count) {

         u8 num_sym_ssa = 0;

=======================================================================


yeah some issue in ouremail setup. We will fix it.

I am not disagreeing that this is a real issue that should be fixed (but
confused as to why the normal compilers are not catching this, which
implies that maybe it never can actually be hit).

So please fix up your changelog text and I will be glad to review it.

thanks,
