That solution looks good.

If you really want to get rid of these warnings, you can use this default
for the variables :

pj = 0x0;
jd=0xff;

d = 0xff;

It doesn't really make sense why we would choose to initialise these
variables, but if you want to silence the preprocessor, then perhaps those
values. Put a message that defaults are not known nor specified in the data
sheet and these values are chosen to be unlikely matches of real world
values - which ensures regmap updates later from an initial unknown chip
state after refresh.
Okay, I could do something like this?

These warnings need to be eliminated because Linus requires a clean
build as much as possible [1] [2], which has been codified by
CONFIG_WERROR, which is enabled by default with allmodconfig. As a
result, clang allmodconfig builds are broken [3], which you might have
already seen. If there is another way this could be written without
potentially uninitialized variables, I am open to it.

All a bit messy really.
Indeed :/

According to the comment in the default case, other parts of the chip
are still functional without these values so just return 0 in the
default case to avoid using these variables uninitialized.

Don't return here, the rest of the chip is still functional and probably in
use. Print the dev_info and continue.
I'll send a v2 tomorrow morning (for me at least) if there are no other
comments.
