This patch as commit 9896a58cdd59 ("PCI: ACPI: PM: Do not use
pci_platform_pm_ops for ACPI") in -next causes the following build error
when compiling x86_64 allmodconfig with clang:

drivers/pci/pci-acpi.c:1125:7: error: variable 'adev' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
        if (!adev || !acpi_device_power_manageable(adev))
             ^~~~
drivers/pci/pci-acpi.c:1110:26: note: initialize the variable 'adev' to silence this warning
        struct acpi_device *adev;
                                ^
                                 = NULL
1 error generated.

Should the adev assignment be moved up or is there a different fix
necessary?

Cheers,
Nathan
