[PATCH v2 1/4] iio: light: ltr501: Assing ddata to NULL
Posted by Andy Shevchenko 3 weeks, 2 days ago
When iio_get_acpi_device_name_and_data() fails, the ddata may be left
uninitialised. Initialise it to NULL.

How do you think about to perform the variable assignment only in
a corresponding else branch?

Can it be that this adjustment does not really matter here because of
the following statement?

	if (!name)
		return -ENODEV;

Would you like to use the summary phrase “Assign NULL to ddata in ltr501_probe()” accordingly?
