Subject: [PATCH] iio: adc: at91-sama5d2_adc: fix warning for uninitialized 'val' variable

>> drivers/iio/adc/at91-sama5d2_adc.c:722:11: warning: variable 'val' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
           else if (reg == st->soc_info.platform->layout->YPOSR)
                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   drivers/iio/adc/at91-sama5d2_adc.c:725:7: note: uninitialized use occurs here
           if (!val)
                ^~~
   drivers/iio/adc/at91-sama5d2_adc.c:722:7: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
           else if (reg == st->soc_info.platform->layout->YPOSR)
                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   drivers/iio/adc/at91-sama5d2_adc.c:711:9: note: initialize the variable 'val' to silence this warning
           u32 val;
                  ^
                   = 0
   1 warning generated.

Fixed by initializing 'val' variable.

Hi Jonathan,

If you can still rebase your testing branch, maybe you can squash this into the
original patch, no need to make a separate commit I guess.
I fixed this as soon as the report came out from the 0day robot.

Thanks !
Eugen
