[RFC PATCH] iio: ak8975: Make sure chipset is always initialized

From: Daniel Baluta
Date: Thu Dec 18 2014 - 12:15:35 EST


When using ACPI, if acpi_match_device fails then chipset enum will be
uninitialized and &ak_def_array[chipset] will point to some bad address.

This fixes the following compilation warning:

drivers/iio/magnetometer/ak8975.c: In function âak8975_probeâ:
drivers/iio/magnetometer/ak8975.c:788:14: warning: âchipsetâ may be used
uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
data->def = &ak_def_array[chipset];

This is a RFC because while I'm pretty sure that chipset should be initialized
with AK_MAX_TYPE in ak8975_match_acpi_device, I am not sure if we can live with
a NULL return value of ak8975_match_acpi_device. Current implementation ignores
return value of ak8975_match_acpi_device.

The same situation is for kxcjk-1013, bmc150-accel, bmg160 and possible other
drivers.
