Subject: [PATCH 3.16 010/132] ARM: OMAP2+: Fix potentially uninitialized
 return value for _setup_reset()

3.16.74-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tony Lindgren <tony@...mide.com>

commit 7f0d078667a494466991aa7133f49594f32ff6a2 upstream.

Commit 747834ab8347 ("ARM: OMAP2+: hwmod: revise hardreset behavior") made
the call to _enable() conditional based on no oh->rst_lines_cnt. This
caused the return value to be potentially uninitialized. Curiously we see
no compiler warnings for this, probably as this gets inlined.

We call _setup_reset() from _setup() and only _setup_postsetup() if the
return value is zero. Currently the return value can be uninitialized for
cases where oh->rst_lines_cnt is set and HWMOD_INIT_NO_RESET is not set.
