[PATCH] drm/xe/hwmon: fix uninitialised access in xe_hwmon_pcode_write_power_limit

From: Qasim Ijaz
Date: Tue Jun 03 2025 - 14:04:33 EST


val0/val1 are not initialised and are passed to xe_pcode_read():

xe_hwmon_pcode_write_power_limit()
└─▶ xe_pcode_read()
└─▶ pcode_mailbox_rw()
└─▶ __pcode_mailbox_rw()

If __pcode_mailbox_rw fails, val0/val1 could be left
uninitialised leading to xe_hwmon_pcode_write_power_limit()
to access them via drm_dbg. Or an uninitialised val0/val1
could be dereferenced inside __pcode_mailbox_rw.

To fix zero-initialise them to avoid potential UB and
propagate error on failure.
