From 1d18e7155f64d283561fd97d474b966de8444812 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Simakov Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2025 18:58:16 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] broadcom: b44: prevent uninitialized value usage [ Upstream commit 50b3db3e11864cb4e18ff099cfb38e11e7f87a68 ] On execution path with raised B44_FLAG_EXTERNAL_PHY, b44_readphy() leaves bmcr value uninitialized and it is used later in the code. Add check of this flag at the beginning of the b44_nway_reset() and exit early of the function with restarting autonegotiation if an external PHY is used.
