Syzbot reported uninit value pegasus_probe(). The problem was in missing error handling. get_interrupt_interval() internally calls read_eprom_word() which can fail in some cases. For example: failed to receive usb control message. These cases should be handled to prevent uninit value bug, since read_eprom_word() will not initialize passed stack variable in case of internal failure.

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.
