commit 161a582bd1d8681095f158d11bc679a58f1d026b upstream.
clang static analysis reports this problem
mos7720.c:352:2: warning: Undefined or garbage value returned to caller
return d;
^~~~~~~~
In the parport_mos7715_read_data()'s call to read_mos_reg(), 'd' is
only set after the alloc block.
buf = kmalloc(1, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!buf)
return -ENOMEM;
Although the problem is reported in parport_most7715_read_data(),
none of the callee's of read_mos_reg() check the return status.
Make sure to clear the return-value buffer also on allocation failures.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
