commit 161a582bd1 upstream.
clang static analysis reports this problem
mos7720.c:352:2: warning: Undefined or garbage value returned to caller
return d;
^~~~~~~~
In the parport_mos7715_read_data()'s call to read_mos_reg(), 'd' is
only set after the alloc block.
buf = kmalloc(1, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!buf)
return -ENOMEM;
Although the problem is reported in parport_most7715_read_data(),
none of the callee's of read_mos_reg() check the return status.
Make sure to clear the return-value buffer also on allocation failures.
