With gcc 4.1.2:
drivers/of/overlay.c: In function ‘dup_and_fixup_symbol_prop’:
drivers/of/overlay.c:108: warning: ‘overlay_name_len’ may be used
uninitialized in this function
drivers/of/overlay.c:100: warning: ‘ovinfo’ may be used uninitialized in
this function
Indeed, if ov->count == 0, both variables are uninitialized, which may
lead to a crash when dereferencing ovinfo later.
Currently this is a false positive, as the sole creator of of_overlay
structures (of_build_overlay_info(), introduced in commit
7518b5890d8ac366 ("of/overlay: Introduce DT overlay support") checks for
this.
To prevent future issues, add a check for a zero ov->count to
dup_and_fixup_symbol_prop(). Note that this does not get rid of the
actual compiler warning.
