With gcc-5.3 and linux-4.7-rc1, they should be gone now (no longer
warning about this with gcov enabled), but I still get them with
gcc-4.9.

I see you only patch two instances but not the third one. I think
we should do it consistently at least.

Coincidentally, I've just done another patch for this myself, since
it's the last gcc-4.9 warning we get in linux-4.7.

My version below

clk: vt8500: fix gcc-4.9 warnings

This fixes some false positive warnings we get with older compiler
versions:

clk-vt8500.c: In function âwm8650_find_pll_bitsâ:
clk-vt8500.c:430:12: âbest_div2â may be used uninitialized in this function
clk-vt8500.c:429:12: âbest_div1â may be used uninitialized in this function
clk-vt8500.c:428:14: âbest_mulâ may be used uninitialized in this function
clk-vt8500.c: In function âwm8750_find_pll_bitsâ:
clk-vt8500.c:509:12: âbest_div2â may be used uninitialized in this function
clk-vt8500.c:508:12: âbest_div1â may be used uninitialized in this function
clk-vt8500.c:507:14: âbest_mulâ may be used uninitialized in this function
clk-vt8500.c: In function âwm8850_find_pll_bitsâ:
clk-vt8500.c:560:12: âbest_div2â may be used uninitialized in this function
clk-vt8500.c:559:12: âbest_div1â may be used uninitialized in this function
clk-vt8500.c:558:14: âbest_mulâ may be used uninitialized in this function

As the local variables are only use for temporaries, we can just
as well assign the final values directly, which also makes the
code slightly shorter.
