wm_adsp_read_data_word() used if (ret) to check for an error from wm_adsp_read_raw_data_block(). While this is perfectly valid, wm_adsp_read_raw_data_block() itself uses if (ret < 0) and three calls to wm_adsp_read_data_word() also use if (ret < 0). This creates an error check chain like this: 1st) if (ret < 0) return ret; 2nd) if (ret) return ret; 3rd) if (ret < 0) ... This can confuse the compiler into thinking that there are possible returns > 0 from the middle if() that are not handled by the final if(). If this was true it would lead to using uninitialized variables later in the outer function. Fix this by changing the test in wm_adsp_read_data_word() to be if (ret < 0).

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.
