Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 195/371] platform/x86: alienware-wmi: printing the wrong error code

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

[ Upstream commit 6d1f8b3d75419a8659ac916a1e9543bb3513a882 ]

The "out_data" variable is uninitialized at the point.  Originally, this
used to print "status" instead and that seems like the correct thing to
print.

Fixes: bc2ef884320b ("alienware-wmi: For WMAX HDMI method, introduce a way to query HDMI cable status")
