[PATCH] wl3501_cs: avoid bogus gcc-6 warning

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Fri May 27 2016 - 11:08:44 EST


gcc-6 on x86 started warning about wl3501_get_encode when building
with -O2:

drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c: In function âwl3501_get_encodeâ:
drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c:1769:5: warning: âimplementedâ may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c:1686:19: warning: âthresholdâ may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c:1702:20: warning: âthresholdâ may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c:1719:23: warning: âtxpowâ may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c:1752:20: warning: âretryâ may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c:1806:25: warning: âpwr_stateâ may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c:1383:24: warning: âvalueâ may be used uninitialized in this function

I could not figure out what exactly confuses gcc here, but splitting the
wl3501_get_mib_value function into two helps the compiler to figure out
that the variables are not actually used uninitialized, and makes it
slightly clearer to a human reader what the function actually does and
which parts of it are under the spinlock.
