Subject: [PATCH] PHY: Variable "val" in function pistachio_usb_phy_power_on() could be uninitialized

In function pistachio_usb_phy_power_on(), local variable "val"
could be uninitialized if function regmap_read() returns -EINVAL.
However, it will be used directly in the if statement, which
is potentially unsafe.
