Subject: [PATCH] firmware: arm_scmi: avoid returning uninialized data

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

Clang notices that there is a code path through
scmi_powercap_notify_supported() that returns an
undefined value:

drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/powercap.c:821:11: error: variable 'supported' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
  821 |         else if (evt_id == SCMI_EVENT_POWERCAP_MEASUREMENTS_CHANGED)
      |                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/powercap.c:824:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here
  824 |         return supported;
      |                ^~~~~~~~~
drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/powercap.c:821:7: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
  821 |         else if (evt_id == SCMI_EVENT_POWERCAP_MEASUREMENTS_CHANGED)
      |              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  822 |                 supported = dom_info->notify_powercap_measurement_change;
drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/powercap.c:811:16: note: initialize the variable 'supported' to silence this warning
  811 |         bool supported;
      |                       ^

Return 'false' here, which is probably what was intended.
