I also have this warning :

net/phonet/pn_dev.c: In function `phonet_device_get':
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:99: warning: 'dev' might be used uninitialized in this function

What about following patch ?

[PATCH] phonet: phonet_device_get() fix

net/phonet/pn_dev.c: In function `phonet_device_get':
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:99: warning: 'dev' might be used uninitialized in this function
