Subject: [PATCH] drm/bridge: sii902x: Variable status in sii902x_connector_detect() could be uninitialized if regmap_read() fails

In function sii902x_connector_detect(), variable "status" could be
initialized if regmap_read() fails. However, "status" is used to
decide the return value, which is potentially unsafe.
