Subject: [PATCH 1/2] phy: exynos-mipi-video: avoid uninitialized variable use

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

A rework of the exynos-mipi-video driver caused a warning
about the new __set_phy_state function potentially accessing
a variable before its initialization:

drivers/phy/phy-exynos-mipi-video.c: In function '__set_phy_state':
drivers/phy/phy-exynos-mipi-video.c:238:13: error: 'val' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  return val & data->resetn_val;
         ~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/phy/phy-exynos-mipi-video.c:235:6: note: 'val' was declared here
  u32 val;

The failure scenario here is the offset passed into a the
stub regmap_read() function that does not modify its output,
however regmap_read() can also fail for other reasons, so
adding error handling (in this case, returning zero from
is_running) seems the best solution.

Note that this warning showed up with the ARM s5pv210_defconfig,
indicating that we most likely want to either enable CONFIG_REGMAP
in that defconfig as well, or disable the phy-exynos-mipi-video
driver.
