#1693257 — [PATCH][V2] dvb_frontend: ensure that inital front end status initialized

FromColin King <colin.king@canonical.com>
Date2017-07-21 00:20 +0200
Subject[PATCH][V2] dvb_frontend: ensure that inital front end status initialized
Message-ID<u5rXz-4QU-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The fe_status variable s is not initialized meaning it can have any
random garbage status.  This could be problematic if fe->ops.tune is
false as s is not updated by the call to fe->ops.tune() and a
subsequent check on the change status will using a garbage value.
Fix this by adding FE_NONE to the enum fe_status and initializing
s to this.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#112887 ("Uninitialized scalar variable")

Looks good to me. Do you mind fixing dvb_frontend_swzigzag() as well.
It currently initializes enum fe_status s = 0; in a separate patch.

If you're willing to touch the uAPI, please update its documentation:

$ git grep FE_HAS_SIGNAL Documentation/
Documentation/media/uapi/dvb/examples.rst:       if (*stat & FE_HAS_SIGNAL)
Documentation/media/uapi/dvb/fe-read-status.rst:          ``FE_HAS_SIGNAL``
