Nathan Chancellor b6f368c1b4 usb: atm: cxacru: Merge cxacru_upload_firmware() into cxacru_heavy_init() 
commit 8d1b02e5d7 upstream.

After a recent change in clang to expose uninitialized warnings from
const variables [1], there is a warning in cxacru_heavy_init():

  drivers/usb/atm/cxacru.c:1104:6: error: variable 'bp' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
   1104 |         if (instance->modem_type->boot_rom_patch) {
        |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  drivers/usb/atm/cxacru.c:1113:39: note: uninitialized use occurs here
   1113 |         cxacru_upload_firmware(instance, fw, bp);
        |                                              ^~
  drivers/usb/atm/cxacru.c:1104:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
   1104 |         if (instance->modem_type->boot_rom_patch) {
        |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  drivers/usb/atm/cxacru.c:1095:32: note: initialize the variable 'bp' to silence this warning
   1095 |         const struct firmware *fw, *bp;
        |                                       ^
        |                                        = NULL

While the warning is technically correct that bp is conditionally passed
uninitialized to cxacru_upload_firmware(), it is ultimately a false
positive warning on the uninitialized use of bp because the same
condition that initializes bp, instance->modem_type->boot_rom_patch, is
the same one that gates the use of bp within cxacru_upload_firmware().
As this warning occurs in clang's frontend before inlining occurs, it
cannot know that these conditions are indentical to avoid the warning.

Manually inline cxacru_upload_firmware() into cxacru_heavy_init(), as
that is its only callsite, so that clang can see that bp is initialized
and used under the same condition, clearing up the warning without any
functional changes to the code (LLVM was already doing this inlining
later).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
