Hmm, I don't get why we get this warning. Line 495 is in
s25fs256t_post_bfpt_fixup(). It declares 'op' and then it does

    op = (struct spi_mem_op)
        CYPRESS_NOR_RD_ANY_REG_OP(nor->params->addr_mode_nbytes,
                      SPINOR_REG_CYPRESS_ARCFN, 1,
                      nor->bouncebuf);
    ret = spi_nor_read_any_reg(nor, &op, nor->reg_proto);


which initializes 'op' before using it. Same with line 364 which is in
the function cypress_nor_set_addr_mode_nbytes().

Even the compiler warnings [0] don't seem to make much sense to me:

    /kisskb/src/drivers/mtd/spi-nor/spansion.c: In function 's25fs256t_post_bfpt_fixup':
    /kisskb/src/drivers/mtd/spi-nor/spansion.c:495:27: error: 'op' is used uninitialized [-Werror=uninitialized]
    495 |         struct spi_mem_op op;
        |                           ^~
    /kisskb/src/drivers/mtd/spi-nor/spansion.c:495:27: note: 'op' declared here
