Subject: [PATCH 4.12 111/196] serial: sh-sci: Uninitialized variables in sysfs files

4.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 4ab3c51e0540ba8464fe34d84cc35821bb77ae92 upstream.

The kstrtol() function returns -ERANGE as well as -EINVAL so these tests
are not enough.  It's not a super serious bug, but my static checker
correctly complains that the "r" variable might be used uninitialized.

Fixes: 5d23188a473d ("serial: sh-sci: make RX FIFO parameters tunable via sysfs")
