Subject: Applied "spi: fsl-lpspi: Pre-initialize ret in fsl_lpspi_transfer_one_msg()" to the spi tree

The patch

   spi: fsl-lpspi: Pre-initialize ret in fsl_lpspi_transfer_one_msg()

has been applied to the spi tree at

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git 

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [PATCH] spi: fsl-lpspi: Pre-initialize ret in
 fsl_lpspi_transfer_one_msg()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

With gcc 4.1.2:

    drivers/spi/spi-fsl-lpspi.c: In function ‘fsl_lpspi_transfer_one_msg’:
    drivers/spi/spi-fsl-lpspi.c:369: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function

If the message contains no transfers, the function will set the
message's status to an uninitialized value, and will return that
uninitialized value.

While __spi_validate() should have been called in all paths leading to
this, and thus have rejected such messages, we better pre-initialize ret
to be safe for future modifications (spi_transfer_one_message() also
does this).
