[PATCH v3] platform/x86: lenovo: wmi-other: Fix uninitialized variable in lwmi_om_hwmon_write()
Posted by Yufei CHENG 1 month, 3 weeks ago
When the flag relax_fan_constraint is set, local variable 'raw'
is never assigned, and lwmi_om_hwmon_write() will pass uninitialized
value to lwmi_om_fan_get_set() resulting in undefined behavior.

This flag allows user to bypass minimum fan RPM divisor rounding,
but assignment to 'raw' only happens in the non-relaxed path.
Fix by defaulting 'raw' to user provided 'val' in the else branch.

Thank you for your contribution, it has been applied to my local
review-ilpo-fixes branch. Note it will show up in the public
platform-drivers-x86/review-ilpo-fixes branch only once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.
