[PATCH] fix potential return of uninitialized variable in scsi_scan (resend)

From: Jesper Juhl
Date: Sat Mar 18 2006 - 16:39:44 EST


( The patch below was already send on March 9, 2006. )
( This is a resend, re-diff'ed against 2.6.16-rc6 )


The coverity checker found out that we potentially return sdev uninitialized.
This should fix coverity #879
