Thanks for the patch. I have a report of this from kernelci bot, would
you mind crediting it:
Reported-by: kernelci.org bot <bot@...nelci.org>
Looks like `port` is uninitialized (prior to your patch), too.

These two functions look identical except for the mask. The
maintainers should consider reusing more code between them and passing
in the mask.
