From 48eb5b9c3dd2768b6a4de9c1eab606820fd84192 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2014 10:22:05 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: phy: fix uninitialized status in ixgbe_setup_phy_link_tnx Status variable is never initialized, can carry an arbitrary value on the stack and thus may let the function fail.
