[PATCH][next] Input: serio_raw: Fix uninitialized variable 'written'
Posted by Colin Ian King 1 month ago
The variable written is not initialized and subsequent increments of the
variable are using an uninitialized value. Fix this by initializating it
at the start of the function.

Fixes: 5b53a9d40c4f ("Input: serio_raw - use guard notation for locks and other resources")

Thank you for the patch but I already have one fixing this up queued.
